Hey Hey everyone. It’s been a little while, but things here are awesome. A lot of exciting things have happened. We went to three different cities; Dharamapuri, Kotagiri, and Udumalpet. When we got to Dharamapuri we worked at CDC and taught the kids some Bible stories. We went to a leper community, and to a families house who had HIV positive. These were really hard for me, but atH the families house I got the chance to pray and God definitely gave me the words. After I prayed the man of the house grabbed my hands and gave me the biggest smile. It was great to have this opportunity to pray for them. We stayed in a hotel and had amazing food. On our drive up to Kotagiri we all were wide-awake. It was such a beautiful drive. It was actually pretty chilly there too, which was a nice change. We were able to meet the Ketcham’s, a missionary family in Ooty. They were so sweet, and made us an American meal, it was delicious. We left Kotagiri and went to Udumalpet. We got to paint the Nazarene Church, and might I add we picked the color and it looks reaaal good. We went to a Crocodile farm, and on the way back we came up to the scene of an accident. It looked pretty serious, considering there were about 6 cars stopped, helping. We stopped our car and Kingsley and Courtney (our nurse) jumped out to check it out. The man had been drinking and had swerved off the road. He was okay but he had a big cut in his lip and was having trouble breathing. A few people called the ambulance and we left after that, seeing as how there were six other cars of people there to help him. The thing that I thought was really cool was how many people were stopped taking care of this man. The unity of this country is unreal. They will protect each other no matter what. Thank goodness he was okay. We have met so many friends and it keeps getting harder to leave them. We left Udumalpet and our friend Daniel, the grandson to the owner of our hotel, was emotional which made us even more sad. We arrived in Musiri about a day ago and it is so good to be back. We saw the kids and they ran to us and hugged us. They were so happy to see us. Just the thought of leaving makes me really sad. We leave for Erode for four days then we’ll be back to Musiri for about two weeks. God is continuing to show me new things everyday. I am in love with India.
