Lately I've been MIA trying to get back in the routine of things since our India trip. Everyday since we've been back it's been work, work, work and our past two weekends were filled with 1) HSM student ministry retreat which was awesome, and 2) seeing our good friends Lindsey and Kasey get hitched! What fun! This week I'm leading a renovation of the Sanderson High School teacher lounge - we're trimming and painting every second we get this week! (I'll post pictures soon!)
Here are a couple highlights for me from India:
Some of the girls in the orphanage greeted us with fresh Jasmine leis the first night we visited. Next, we walked through the small cinderblock chapel as girls and boys sat on each side singing praise songs as we entered.

| Delivering the gift bags to the leper colony families was really special. This young lady's face would light up when I showed her the toys, shampoo, soap, lotion that was in her bag. I was humbled by their excitement in such "little things." | |

| These were two girls from the village who on our walk down to the river for a baptism, held my arms the entire way. Their welcome, despite me being a complete stranger who did not share their language, they welcomed me with incredible love and kindness. |
What a wonderful, challenging, life changing trip! If you are interested in reading more about our trip and how we are continuing to be involved in the people's lives in India, please check out
