Dear Family and Friends, Our daughter, Sarah and John and girls came to India to visit in October. We visited the India Gate which is a memorial for all those who lost their lives in WW 1. We went to Agra to see the Taj Mahal and Red Fort. We were so glad that they came because we are being transferred from India on Dec. 11th. The consulate is not giving anymore missionary Indian Visas for now. Some senior couples are still getting employment / volunteer visas, but since we had missionary visas--they cannot be renewed in January for another year. We are going to the Singapore--Malaysia Mission until next December 2013. We are so sad to leave the good saints here in India. I guess the Lord has more plans for us in East Malaysia. We are getting ready by organizing and packing what we can and sending back what we do not need. Another couple from Canada will be taking our place.
Brenda's Father passed away October 7th from pancreatic cancer. We flew from India to attend his funeral Oct 27th. All of our children were there to celebrate the life of their grandfather. We were able to also spend Halloween with our family who came. We have been busy here helping with the YSA and seminary programs. Clark has been getting the attendance rolls complete in the Dwarka Branch. We have been speaking on district assignments, going to Girl's Camp, and fellowshipping the members here. We love the wonderful people here in India.
Warm Regards, Elder and Sister Crookston.
