Title
37.- Mission for børn i Indien. Diasserie 1990, "Da jeg blev velsignet af en elefant". Da vi kom ud igen, skete der noget mærkeligt. Pludselig stod vi foran en kæmpe elefant. Den var malet på ørerne, og den var hellig. Den kunne velsigne folk. Det foregik på den måde, at man tog 10 paisa op af lommen – det vil svare til 4 øre – lagde dem i sin hånd, og så svingede elefanten sin store snabel hen, tog pengene og gav dem til en mand, der sad ved siden af elefanten

Description
Mission for children in India. Slides 1990, "When I was blessed by an elephant". Coming out again, something strange happened. Suddenly we were standing in front of a giant elephant. The ears were painted, being holy he was able to bless people. It happened like that: you took 10 paisa from the pocket – equal to 4 pennies – placed them in your hand, and then the elephant swung his big trunk, took the money and gave it to a man, seated next to the elephant.
