Dehradun

It's hard to believe I was there for two weeks.  The time just flew.  As we said our goodbyes last night, it was really overwhelming. 

Time with Shanu and family, time with Australian team (made up of no Australians, just Americans, French and Norwegians), Team Mamaji and the Dehradun team.  Thank you all for my special time there.  It all came together so perfectly, with God's perfect timing.

Jai's village outside of Mussoorie.  Amazing elder smoking the hookah pipe.  Mela on the mountain.  Swimming by Kempty Falls in the pool.

Blind school: God wants spiritual fruits, not religious nuts.  God created each of us so magically.

Washing the kids in the slums: Rena.  What a doll!

Getting my plane ticket to Egypt!  Whee!  Trusting in God to deliver it.  Yes, my faith was weak.  But He came through anyway.  (yeah, so I am going to Egypt.  God does answer my prayers!  Firstly, to visit Africa/Middle East...my final continent unvisited (besides Antartica) and secondly to see the pyramids.  It will so amazing to be in the land where Jesus himself grew up.  It was such an amazing miracle for me when my travel agent pulled up to the base at the EXACT TIME God said he would!  I think God was testing my faith, and he certainly encouraged me to grow!)

Spending time on the roof watching the sun go down on the gorgeous Doon mountains.

swimming in the Ganges (fourth time) on the last day of Kumbh Mela with Maya.  Wonderful.

Crappy things: like 2 weeks of loose motion.  Ugh.  Some days better than others.

Waking up at 3 :45 am to catch the train.  There are few things more horrible than getting 1 hour of sleep.  And Dumb and Dumber was SUCH a letdown.  (It turns out that I have seen the end before.)

Glad to be back in Delhi.  I want a pedicure so badly...

Pray for my friend that I met on the train, that he finds peace and the Lord in it.  Pray that my last three weeks in India are safe, brilliant and fun and I stay close to the Lord and I get rid of some of my belongings.  : )
