to whom it may concern

things happening today:
face painting with the Hope House girls
it was so fun
water balloons also
we gave them presents
and we sang to them
and they sang to us
and it was wonderful
awesome pictures
translating goodbyes
from english to tamil
and tamil to english
secret happiness that it wasnt really goodbye for me
only for 7 of us
saddness when realization of the team leaving dawned on me
even more pictures because of their departure
walk to the market to get lunch
which doubled the stares
because of our skin and also the face paint
team packs to head home
drive to airport for them to fly out
beginning of michelle, elise, and i's third week

things im feeling today:

happy to spend time with all these people for one last day
amazed two weeks have flown by
tired, physically and emotionally
releaved im staying one more week
meaning goodbyes are post poned with the Hope House girls
needing the Lords strength
needing His vision
wanting to learn more
so thankful for the girls on my team
and the closeness that has developed the last two weeks
hopeful that their flight goes fast and smooth for them
those flights are serioudly the devil... haha
ps-indian plane food= quite possibly the sickest thing ever.
incase anyone was wondering..


sorry about the lack of details...
im fatigued today.
love you guys!

The best thing that has happened all week for me is when my princess called and woke us up this morning at 4:30 am Sugar land time. I have so missed hearing your voice and I was a little grumpy because of that. BUT that is all over now and you have truly made my week. Have fun, be safe and we are praying for God to move in and about your purpose there.
