Jungle Fever!
Hey friends back home! We had a nice change up today , instead of heading to the boys home in the morning, we went off to the junglely mountains (more like big ant hills) near Rajahmundry. The drive was around two hours. Even though it was sorta long, we never got tired of staring at the ever-changing scenery. Open plains, tightly-packed desert towns, and ancient temples on some of the mountain tops. When we finally got out of the car, Solomon took us to a sketchy tower/run down dam. After that, we basically just drove through the mountains since there were supposedly rebels who planted landmines in and around where we were. There were tons of signs for tigers, cheetahs, and bison, but all we saw were some lizards, a few monkeys and a cobra which was slithering across the road. We arrived at the boys home around 5:00, and the boys were more then ready to play with us. The day ended with a devotion I did on Psalm 133, "When Brothers Dwell in Unity." Well, that's about all! Some things to mention about William and Nathanael's experiences today: William's toe hurts from yesterday's volleyball game (he kicked the volleyball), and Nathanael got boiling tea spilled all over him!

Wow, that's great that you were able to see the sights! I never worry when you are under Solomon's care, but how do William and Than manage to make volleyball and hot tea a hazard?? I hope you'll share your devotional with us when you get home, Bennett. I'm sure you are being stretched more and more every day. We love you and miss you! Xoxo, Mom
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've been reading your Bonhoeffer....awesome! Like Mom, I want to hear that devo when you get home. All is well here. Tonight Livi, Kelly, and I hung out together in the Wednesday tradition. I am taking care of the Smith's 20 chickens this week and by some small miracle, none of them have gone missing...yet. I hope to hand them all back over in the same numbers as when I received them, which as you know is no small feet around here! I love you and I'm praying for you all many times each day! Peace, Dad/Todd
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I remember when we saw a bison in the jungle when I was there-so cool! Hope you're not too badly injured, Than! May God continue to watch over y'all! :)
