Another day in India!



Today was our first official day of work at the orphanage. Most of our team started the day by setting up a new library at the Bible College at the orphanage. Thanks to generous donations by several families our team was able to provide hundreds of books and a brand new computer for the college. The second half of the day our team helped out the several schools at the orphanages and we were able to take our first trip to town! Our day ended with a traditional India church service and dinner. Thanks for your prayers!

Chrissy: Nana and I are thankful for traveling mercies and for the safe arrival of the team! Now we pray the Lord will use each of you in special ways as you work with and witness to the children and staff - and each other! Aga is doing well. Susan and the children are there for a few days in the 117 degree heat! WE MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU.

Wow! I think I'm the only blogger who isn't one of your parents! I miss all of you guys so much, and I'm praying for you all! It looks like you're having so much fun in India! I recognize so many of those little girls! Please tell them all I love them and I miss them!

Andrea, it's soo good to finally see you smiling for the camera!!:) I remember playing that board game with the girls! It was so much fun, but it really hurts your fingers! Hey, please don't forget to give the girls the letters I wrote them when you have time! And say hi to Shalini and Athira for me!

Have fun and keep trusting Jesus!

And Happy Birthday Brad!

Love,
