![]() On the day of purchase, silly me wanted the motorcycle to be in Connor’s favorite color…blue. Of course, all the ones on the showroom floor were black. As we were roaming the showroom and waiting for the salesman to find and wipe the dust off the one-an-only blue Honda 110, the owner comes out of his office and says, “Hello, do you remember me?” Welllll… no we didn’t. Turns out he is one of Ashok’s friends and had been at the wedding and Christmas party we had attended. He then ushers us back into his office and we are given the royal treatment and ceremonial tea before business could be conducted. All of the accessories that we had declined because of expense were given as well as a discount. Thank you, Jesus. Later, when Dr. Suresh went to pick up the motorcycle and the RTO guy (their DMV) was to come to register the motorcycle, about 100 people were waiting in line. The shop sells about 1500 scooters and motorcycles of month. Again the owner comes out and takes Dr. Suresh to the front of the line. Many hours of waiting were eradicated. Wanting to do a complete service on the old motorcycle, we now had funds to a pucca…first-class…job on it. A day was arranged for Dr. Suresh and Loren…with his GO-PRO camera… to ride the old motorcycle out to Vanda’s village. Nupi and I went in the car. This was our first visit to Vanda’s new home.
Anyway, the purpose of the visit was to tell Vanda and his wife that we were gifting the old motorcycle to him for his work with Dr. Suresh. They were speechless. They had been praying, he said, for some transportation. But a bicycle was as big as their dream. Thanks to all of you the ministry of Prakash is going forward and Connor is being remembered in a precious and meaningful way.
