Strong, overwhelming feelings have come over me today. I have been back in America for almost 48 hours. Excitement, exhaustion, sadness, and anger are all some things that I have been feeling. I was SO excited to come back home, but now, all I want is to be back in the room that smelled like pee and mold. I want to be surrounded by all the Indian people and my wonderful teammates in a crowded smelly bus. I want to be soaked from the rain all day long at the preschool. Today, I went to walmart with my dad to get a few groceries and such. Looking at the prices and just people watching...

 Throughout the summer, I always looked forward to visiting my three friends: Sara, Sue, and Lindsay. They all own shops on the beach and are good friends. Sara is a very faithful Christian and Sue and Lindsay are both Hindus. Each time we visited, all three women continuously asked us to pray for various areas in their lives.

I have learned so many things on this trip and there’s so much that I want to take home with me from India. Besides the head bobble, I really want to remember all that God has taught me about how big He is and how faithful...

  Last weekend some of my friends and I took a weekend trip to Mumbai. It started off with us missing our bus to the train station, a 12 hour train ride there, getting there at 4:30 in the morning going to the Gateway of India in the pitchblack, finding out we were standing in front of the Taja Hotel just as it started to pour down rain. With no place to go and nothing to do until 10, we decided to go into the hotel cafe and have a cup of chai, this was not what I was expecting on our weekend trip! After breakfast we joined the Indian laughing club as we passed them on...
