Woke up early so we could catch the 6:15 A.M. train to Colombo. We needed to meet with the missionaries there.
We had to travel 2nd class because 1st class tickets were all sold out. View of the car we were in.
View heading to the Colombo apartment.
Indian Ocean.
Elder Abeythunga's new companion. He is from Negombo and just getting ready to put his mission papers in. He will help for a month until we get another Elder here.
After visiting with Bradshaws and Elders it was time to head back to Kandy. Since the train was all full we had to catch the bus. We went for the AC bus. You wait in line until a bus arrives. They come about every 15 minutes.
On the bus and ready to go. The bus takes longer than the train because of traffic.
Sunset heading home.
The traffic heading back was awful. The lights you see in the back are car lights that are lined up.
Traffic ahead of us.
Shop along the way. Usually the trip takes 4 hours but tonight it was 5.
Made it to Sister Nirmala's 60th birthday party. Here she is with her husband Myron.
Happy birthday!
Eating with Nirmala and Ilani.
Dancing after eating.
Birthday cake made by her daughter. It was very good!
More dancing.
Special dedication from her husband with Ilani translating.
It was a busy tiring day but a GOOD one.
The ride
