Bijili is our house helper. She comes 6 days a week for about an hour to clean our floors and, as of a few days ago, wash our dishes. She is Bengali meaning she is from the state of Bengal and her home city is Kolkata. Although a bit rough on the edges and sometimes stubborn to do things HER way, she is a hard worker! I've come to care a great deal for her and she makes me laugh!
After a few months of working for us when we first arrived 2 years ago, her nephew came down with a brain tumor, we prayed for him, and he has been doing fine. However, 2 days ago, she came in very upset and I knew something was wrong. At first, she said all was okay, but I made her tell me. Her nephew is not doing well and the doctors are giving him 2-3 days to live. Today I prayed WITH her in what I would call Hinglish (not cultural in anyway) and, afterwards, you could tell she didn't know what to think. However, I knew she felt something as her shoulders were quivering the entire time. Please join us in praying for her nephew at this time and for answered prayer to be a mighty revealing of WHO our Lord is to those around us!
