Remembering India

I don't think a day has gone by since coming home from India (almost 2 years ago), that I haven't thought of it or my dear friends, Jeff and Janet and their amazing little family who live there. I'm taking a trip back through just a few pictures that I found...

Kendra and myself sporting our Indian outfits

Kendra with a couple of her nurse friends.

In the ICU, there was a little patient that Kendra and I fell in love with...He was such a beautiful little boy.

I have to admit, I truly think I got the best job!!! Here's a picture of school time with a couple of my favorite students. :)

Whenever we'd check our email, the owner of the internet cafe would blast some American boyband music for me and Kendra because of course, every American would LOVE to listen to that music! :) It was also interesting that even if Kendra and my computers weren't working, his computer was always alive and well...one day we snuck a peek at his computer...let me just say, if you're chatting with "HotIndianMan", I've met him. :)

Bekah letting me cut her hair!

Taking a weekend holiday with everyone!

Janet, buying some fruit at a fruit stand...isn't it beautiful?

Kendra trying her hand at it!

It's true. We really did make this little man bike us around. :) We paid him, although, I'm not sure any amount would have been enough!

People bathing in the Ganga river.

Here's a picutre during the worship ceremony. I don't know how many people were there that night...I thought I heard over a million, but I could really be wrong 'cause I was having a difficult time hearing...but it felt like it was about a million people! I remember asking Jeff if he gets discouraged because the need seems to be so apparent and overwhelming? I've thought about his answer many times since then; "I serve where God has placed me and I try to do it the very best I can. Everything else is up to Him".

Jeff took us to a restaurant after the worship ceremony...one word: De-licious!!!! As you can tell, Aaron and I are very excited!!! I love how he's holding his silverware...ready for a feast!

Before we left India, Kendra and I went to see the Taj Mahal. Here, Kendra is giving a shot at carving marble. I don't know why, but there's something about this picture that makes me laugh every time...is it the fact that she was kind of forced into this or maybe the sarcastic comment she was making to me that the guy next to her didn't understand? :) Probably both!

And of course...the Taj Mahal.

Good times....good times.
