Hello America, and whatever other countries are reading this! (we can see which countries are reading the blog.) William and I awoke to the sound of the boys in the Bethel Home talking and studying at 4:00 am, 4:00 am! How on earth do they have the drive to get up at four every morning. I'll never know; I certainly can't do it. They went to school at 9:30 am, and we went off to go look at some of the Kodai views, although most of them were blocked by huge clouds. Our first stop was supposed to be a view down to the valley, but we couldn't see too much due to cloud blockage. After trying to peer through the clouds, we moved on to a new place, the lake view, which is basically, well, the view of a lake. William and I asked John the driver, if he could take us to monkeys. The next stop, we hopped out, and started messing around with monkeys! I tried posting a video of us feeding them, but the internet is too slow. After awhile, we left those poor, ugly, funny monkeys, and ate at the boys home. We crashed until the boys returned from school at 4:30 pm. Once the boys came back, William and I started a soccer match that ended when no one could see the ball because it was so dark. Back inside the building, we sang some songs, and played some games. Now the boys are all praying before they go to bed.
Godbless!

Sounds like a nice, restful day with a fun ending. Be careful of those monkeys! And I love the name of your band! We want to hear you when you return. Great posts, you two! Love you, Mom
ReplyDeleteOne of the most vivid memories of my time in India was the hike our entire group took in Kodai and the amazing mountains that surround it-beautiful! One of the best things about your posts is to read how God is shaping and stretching you, how you are each responding to HIS leading, and how both of you are taking initiative to reach out to these boys and lead by example. Such a privilege!
