2011-07-30: Kolkata Daily Digest

  • It’s Day 7 for the FBC Kolkata Team. #
  • 12.30 We’ve had a lovely morning driving over the river to Howrah, then coming back to visit St Paul’s Cathedral . . . #
  • . . . and the Victoria Memorial. We counted how many times William Carey was mentioned on the info boards. #
  • We met a church planter working in the Himalayas called Babu. Just literally bumped into him in the Victoria Memorial. #
  • Outside, some of us (not me) were mistaken for celebrities and had pictures taken by Indians and Chinese. #
  • It is of course Bethan’s birthday today. #
  • 15.00 Going for a walk down to the Park Street area. Might take the auto rickshaw.  #
  • 16.45 Nice browse round Oxford Bookstore and Musicland (both with a/c) then back to BMS. #
  • 17.35 Tomorrow we will be going to the church service at Colinga Baptist, Pastor Asis’ church. #
  • Likely to be singing: Great Is He (in 3 parts!), Shine (inevitably), and Strength Will Rise or Blessed Be The Name Of The Lord. #
  • 20.10 More work on the sermon needed. It’s Galatians by the way. #
  • 21.50 Too tired and hot to do any more. Time to head towards bed and maybe some reading. Night night. #
