I am alive and well. Yesterday was really hard because all I wanted to do was sleep. I could not sleep on the plane. When I got to Delhi, I could not find Amanda. She assumed that I was not able to make the flight because I did not have am visa, so she was a little of a surprise when I saw her. We than waited until her sister and husband came with their two kids, Emma (3) and Clay(5). We waited there at the airport until 5:30 and took a 6 hour train ride and a hour car ride to get to the school. All the kids were running around, being shy, and swinging from the trees. It was crazy!! I feel like I am going to be working with the lost boys. All they do is run around and there is no one to tell them what to do. After they showed me around I crashed. Today we had church and we all got unpacked. I am living with a girl named Cat, there are two girls from Germany, and than Amanda. It was not at all what I expected. We all have rooms and there is a little kitchen. The boys all live in little houses according to their ages. We live on a farm, but I thought there was going to be a big red barn, no barn, just a lot of fields. I feel like I am in the jungle. It is really warm and the sun is shining which is a blessing compared to the snow in Chicago. There is a huge chicken farm next door , so they "no" to my chicken idea, but I found a cute cat. I boys always will get her for me. Well I better go, I will send pictures. There is no way to explain this place, you just have to see it.
Pray that I am able to remember their names. I have already fallen in love with them!!
