Our Dr. Tejpal Singh Basra

Dr. Basra invited us one last time to a Sikh service as he will most likely leave this week for his new job in Virginia. He specifically wanted the picture taken so that the G6 poster in the background, advertising an International Music Night, could be seen We aim to please. Also that evening we met the lovely and gracious Prabhjot Kaur, a retired principal from Punjab who is here visiting her son and his family, welcoming her first grandson/grandchild. She taught English most of her career and sent her children to Christian Schools. Her husband is a Civil Engineer, her son is a physician and her daughter-in-law is a computer engineer. In the course of our conversation I mentioned that we were missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and asked if she knew any LDS people. She said there was a church down from her home and they went there every Christmas. She has written articles on women in Sikh religion, so I think I must send her Daughters In My Kingdom. I think she'd appreciate it, don't you? The Sikhs are kind loving people who feel it is their mission to establish the brotherhood of man. They would all make equally lovely Mormons, and Dr. Basra would make a very effective missionary!
