Aww man..it’s a rainy day. Cue sweat pants, snack foods, the couch, blanket, movie and inevitably, a nap. Although thats my reaction too, it’s not really an option here because monsoon season means sprinkling, showers or rain several times a day! The rain, cooler weather and grey skies starts to throw me into that thought and drains me during the afternoon...but today has been better in that respect, because Melissa and I visited her aunt and uncle, who also live in Dharwad! And I snuck a nap in today :).
Tomorrow Melissa and I embark on a journey to north India together via train...about 30 hours :/. Eeeeek!! Evidently it’s a really fun (and safe) experience though! We leave tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon and get there really early in the morning Friday. The trip will be somewhere around 8 days (including the 4 days traveling) and we’ll probably get to go to the Taj Mahal….ya I know :). Oh, and I might ride an elephant, but it’s whatever.
Thank you soo much for your constant prayers and for being such faithful intercessors on my behalf, even in the middle of the night. You are too good to me.
Prayer Requests:
-still not sleeping well at night...i get freaked out easily by sounds, which is a problem because there are sounds 24/7 here.
-still trying to figure out my place in certain things and how to interact within their culture.
-for my teaching...that Christ would give me the words and ways to explain things.
-for the Lord to give me words of truth and identity over girls here and the words to express them.
-for safety, protection and a fun time as Melissa and I travel north, and for those suffering who have lost family and friends to the monsoon flooding and mudslides up north.
your Indian friend,
