Oh India, how I love thee!!!

I made it!!! I was able to sleep a lot on the plane so I was not jet lagged at all this time. I was so excited to see the boys. I rushed over there and they were all out on the porch doing homework. They threw the cat at me and told me that they were planning to telling me that they had killed it. They tell me that a million times a day. They all say that the cat has died and that they do not like him, yet I see them snuggling with him when they think that no one is watching.
I am so glad to be back!!! I love waking up to the boys singing, having yellow nails from the dal, and laughing with them. They love the books that I brought. They are obsessed with the Naria book and the Lion King. It looks so different here because on the monsoon season. It has rained every day (my hair is a mess). We have corn that is taller than me and the fields are all so green. We just got a lawn mower, all the boys are super excited. Before they only had large blades that they would use to cut the by hand. The boys too look different. They are skinner, taller, and have lost a couple of teeth. They tried to act shy, but I will have none of that.
It is such a different life here. Water and power are a blessing. In the middle of writing this blog the power went out. As I sit in an office I realize that I am so blessed to have so much and I pray that everyone praises God for all that they have.
I praise God for this amazing place that I am able to pour into for the next 9 months.

I have been really busy getting situated so I will post picture later.
