overdue

I wrote this post after returning from India on August 1. However, I forgot to post it. So here is is, along with 2 other posts I wrote around the same time.

I was unable to access internet during our last two weeks in India. I did, however, want to update about them.

Our last week of ministry (July 19-23) was great. I was able to see and say goodbye to the preschool kids, Peace and Kitty, and the women.

Sunday was the best day ever. Three other teammates and I went to teach Sunday school for the last time. It was so sad. I see so much hope in those kids and have been so blessed by them. One of the Sunday school girls invited me to her house the previous Wednesday, and I learned that while she believes in Jesus, her mother believes in the Hindu gods. It blows my mind how dedicated some of these kids are, without support from their families. Anyway, Sunday school was great. It was hard to say goodbye to those kids, though.

After Sunday school, the four of us had lunch with an Indian woman. She invited us to her shop because she wanted to prepare lunch for us. It was such an honor that she wanted to do that for us. She is someone I grew very close to over our time there, and I was blessed by the love she showed us that day.

All right, so there is a game in India called Classic Carroms. It's great. Jess and I had been talking the cook at the guest house we stayed at, we'll call him Trey, and a worker at the guest house we stayed in, we'll call him Ray, about playing Carroms together. Ray and I were on a team, and Jess and Trey were on a team. With both claiming "I am the best," Jess and I thought the teams were evenly matched. However, Jess and Trey blew Ray and me out of the water. But we all had a blast. Cameron, another teammate, joined in on the second game.

Shortly after, Jess, Cameron, and I went to Hindi church. I love going to Hindi church. God is great and it's awesome to see him be worshiped by brothers and sisters around the world.

Too many other things happened that last week, but all in all, I had an awesome time.

India is amazing. It's people are my favorite, and I will never forget them.
