A wee bit tired....

Well, it has definitely been an exciting and exhausting couple of days. So much so it has been difficult to find time to post because I usually fall asleep the minute we walk into the room and lay down in bed. For some reason, the jet lag is particularly difficult this time for some of us...or me, I guess. The whole 36 hour travel thing and maybe one year older this year hasn't made it any easier to adjust to things. Oh well, I think we are on the brink of getting adjusted to India time, so keep us in your thoughts on that subject! :) I think once we get fully adjusted (yes, it will be time to come home), but we will just have more energy to love, to care for these young children, and just be open to what is in store for us.

Yesterday, we went to the campus where Tim and Karla and their four children live. They live on the campus of one of the schools they manage...it includes a crisis center, a sanctuary, three or four extra living quarters for those who are living there as a part of the crisis center, an extra living quarters for guests and interns, and then enough room for the classrooms. A vast difference between the other school we are working at through the beginning of the week, but still amazing nonetheless. The church service was packed to the brim with people from all walks of life and so welcoming....they of course called us up to the front and praised us for being here and making a difference here in India. It's amazing how happy our Indian brothers and sisters are to see us and to host us. You would think we are VIPs or something....quite different than America! :)

I did learn how to play cricket yesterday. It is a pretty fun game, but I definitely have a lot to learn. You think we would pick up quick because of our relation to baseball...well, it's quite different when the batter can hit it anywhere 360 degrees around them AND they have to hit it off the bounce....plus, keeping score is about as confusing as they come. So, needless to say, I still have a lot to learn about cricket, but it was a GREAT time to be able to connect with Tim, his family, and all the neighborhood children through such a cherished past time shared by them and this nation. Plus, they were sweet enough to let the girls play with them! (Jessica and I did a good job of holding our own!)

Okay....that is just a bit from yesterday and I will blog more later about our first medical camp today! I'm falling asleep as I write this post, so I will post more in the morning before our second day of medical camps....I'm sorry the posts have been few and far between, but we are getting there! Stay tuned for more...and I will post some pics in the morning.

Thank you again for your support and prayers.

With love and good night.
