JAIPUR! the city of kings.

well, right now I have been in Jaipur for about two weeks. I have been teaching in a school every weekday morning and visiting houses in the afternoons. I am having an amazing time with my group, and we are all growing and learning a lot. we have been connecting with some of the local people while we are here, through the house visits and meeting new friends at the mall. through this we have been able to share a little about our lives and why we are in India. they have also told us about themselves and the city itself.
we have learning all about the culture and religions of this area, and have been told that you can't have one without the other. most of the people that we have met have been very open and willing to talk.
i need to run, but i hope you are all safe and well! i'll try to post more later!
(oh, and Jaipur is named after one of their old kings, Jai. pur means city.)

India!

crowded streets, scrawny cows, bright colors (every color imaginable), spicy food, horns blaring from every vehicle and bike... this is my life for the next two months.

God has been so good to my and my entire team so far! in the two weeks that we have been here we have been able to see and do so much! He has really been our strength and has been continously pouring His peace, love, and joy into our lives to overflow into Inida.

there are so many things that we have been doing. we have been able to visit two different slums, an AIDS clinic, two orphanges, a leper colony, and spend an entire weekend with girls living in a home for the daughters of prostittes.

tonight I actualy get to share part of my testimony at an evening church service.
