Oh how I enjoyed that nice bed and air conditioner, a comfort I did not expect. Another thing I did not expect was the poisonous lizards which thrived in every house, every restaurant, hut, they are everywhere. They are as abundant as chameleons and alligators in Florida. They just lurk around on the walls mostly near any light source where they like to go for the warmth and easy prey. They are not aggressive and do not bite, but their skin is very toxic. As long as you do not try to pick one up they do not present a problem. However, there are occasional deaths due to the fact they love milk and other liquid delicacies. Milk is stored in containers for a short time because it is typically used up before it can spoil. Unbeknownst to some people, one falls in trying to drink the milk and it poisons the milk and many have died that way. Life is very harsh in India as I am sure it is in all third world countries that present their own unique dangers. I thank God for I was divinely protected from them all. I had the usual immunizations from certain diseases and carried a good supply of Imodium D. I made myself a promise that I would not drink anything that was not in a sealed bottle but that was a promise I broke very early on. I have to admit at times I was so thirsty from preaching and praying, and when I was handed a glass of water I did not even look at it.

By the Grace of God not only did I not succumb to any illness, I never had to use the Imodium! While I was there I stayed with Sujatha who at the time still had TB, (she was divinely healed an year later, with before and after X-rays to prove it,) I laid hands on a man who died of AIDS three weeks later, and laid hands on people with all kinds of illnesses. As an ambulance attendant here, given the same case scenarios I would have shown up in full turn out gear. In India, I trusted God completely to keep me well, and so it was.
