Hello friends and family! We didn't visit any homes today, but William and I played sports and hung out with Effy all day! (Dency's nephew) After our breakfast, Effy took us to his international school. Getting us visitor passes took forever! You'd think the president of the United States was there or something. But once we got in it was great; we played basketball/soccer for a few hours. Around 12:00pm, Effy took us to Domino's Pizza, which was amazing! I ate an entire large pizza. Full and satisfied, we went to go see a mansion his dad was constructing. (His dad is a overseer) The view from the back porch was breathtaking, I could see green pastures, cultivated land going up the mountain side, the vast valley in between two mountains, and a huge waterfall leading into a jungle-type forest. We started hiking down the mountain, but it started pouring rain, so we all sprinted as fast as we could back up it. Once we returned to Dency's house, I was immediately rushed to see a doctor about an infected cut. All they did was give me a bandage and painkillers.. Not sure if that's what I need! Oh well, I'll be alright. Getsy, (the woman in charge of the daycares, also a nurse) asked William and I to play the music in church tomorrow morning, so we borrowed a guitar to practice with. We roped Effy into singing with us as well! The three of us have been singing, laughing, and playing music for the past two hours.
Hope all is well in the US!
Praise the Lord!

How awesome! Can we get you to play and sing in our church as well?! I hope you get some antibiotic cream for that infected leg--it didn't look pretty in the picture you sent. But Gethsy will take good care of you. Miss you boys! Keep up the good work and finish strong! Xoxo
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear y'all are building great relationships with Effy and the children with whom you come into contact! Praying your cut heals well, Bennett, but you're very resilient, so I am sure you'll be fine! :) Praying singing goes well for you both! Unlike me, I know your "joyful noises" are actually pleasant to listen to!

Hahahaha, during our trip we learned to keep the injury reports to a minimum. An infected cut will get you quite a bit of attention from your loving parents ;)
ReplyDeleteStay safe guys, we're praying for you
Beautiful blog post Bennett, and I can't wait to hear how the music went. Also can't wait to have you back with us in one short week! Make the most of the time you have left in India and enjoy every moment. You are always in my prayers and I'm sure that cut will heal soon. If you can make some time when you're in Madurai next weekend, have John take you by Ingrid's apartment or school to say a quick hello (and good-bye) before you leave. Love you! Dad
