Here are a couple pictures of things that have happened in the past few weeks. Sorry for the delay, but things have been rather hectic around here! Classes just started at the seminary and our chairmen's mother just died on Sunday. The funeral is taking place tomorrow and classes are cancelled so that everyone can attend.
Two guys from Switzerland were here the past weekend. One was a pastor and one a photographer. We got to hang out with them and we had a lot of fun getting to know them. I was sad to see them leave this morning. The pastor introduced me to a family he has been in contact with down the street. The family makes rubber from the trees in their yard. They are a Hindi family and I think I will try to get to know them a little better and spend some more time there.
We also got to go on the backwaters again, but this time we stopped at a food place along the river and they gave us a fish and king prawn. Both things were looking up at me with their eyes and we had to break apart the shell and just bite into the whole fish. It was gross at first but it actually tasted wonderful. The picture of me drinking the coconut was taken at the same time. We ate right next to the river so we got to see exactly what our meal looked like while it was alive and swimming in the water.
I got a box of stuff for the kids from my mom today and the girls and I colored together from the coloring books! There is a lot of stuff we can do now that I got the box. Tomorrow I might make friendship bracelets with them!
I also thought it might be interesting to note that it was exactly a year ago today that I knew God was calling me to do mission work. Even though I first thought I was supposed to go to Africa, it's interesting to see where the last year has taken me!

I am inspired by your journey. You seem to be finding some of what God has planned for you. Janice and I are seeking out what ministry will become our life in the future. I suspect it will be focused on children. I enjoy your notes and pictures.
