Hello all! What an amazing adventure we are partaking of here in India. Even though half the time I've been trying to survive food poisoning and car sickness (due to the WILD controlled chaos of the driving), it is such a blessing to have this oportunity to share Christ's love with others. With each day I am constantly reminded to put my trust in the Lord as our schedules change and we learn more about the Indian culture. 
Each time we are with the girls (with their unbelievably precious glowing faces and their sparkling eyes) at the Charity home, my heart breaks to think that girls are considered worthless. Words cannot describe how it feels to have a mass of little girls stampeding to put their arms around you and pull you down to their level to give you constant hugs and kisses. They have such joy and excitement written on their faces. When you first see and meet the girls it's impossible to think they could be anything other than little angels.
However, as we talk with Mrs. Spurgeon she tells about the problems and difficulties that lie beneath the suface of their beautiful appearance. We realize how serious it is to make sure they are recognizing the Lord, not us enjoying the attention. I pray that the Lord will plant strong seeds in their hearts and that they will cling to Him always. This trip has blessed me with many eye opening experiences and I know the Lord will use them to help me draw closer to Him throughout my life.
