Working in India

I think I should start this by saying that I'm not sure how to start this. At the risk of sounding like a fool, I'll just jump right in. There articles in the May 1914 issue were all intriguing, but the one that that stood out to me the most was "In the Garo Hills" written by H. F. R. During the entirety of the article, he told of his journey in India, searching for the area's "other sheep." He told several stories of personal interactions that he had, including the 80 baptisms they had. R also spoke about a woman he met. She was over a hundred years old and had only been a Christian for 6 months when he met her. When describing her, one sentence stood out in particular. He said, "...and the old Grandma...clapped her hands and praised God like some American Nazarenes". I took this to be an expression of joy, seeing her praise the God that R also praises. I can imagine him being excited to see such love and devotion from someone who had probably spent her whole life worshiping other Gods. He also tells how several people came up to his group and ask questions. A man came up to them and explained that he had two wives. When he converted, one of them converted to Christianity as well. He was wondering how to "get rid of" his second wife, who had remained a follower of  her husband's previous religion. The second story was rather sad. A fourteen year old man married his wife, also fourteen. The young man was a Christian, and his wife desperately wanted to become one as well. However, for reasons unexplained, the couple lived with her parents and the young man was beaten by her parents for his beliefs. They came not seeking refuge, but seeking how to express the love of Christ to her parents. I found this to be the most inspiring part of the article. This couple, years younger than I, was able to do something that I don't think I ever could, and something that I doubt I could forgive so freely while it occurred. It was really an awesome story, and as far as this project goes it isn't so bad.
