today i went on the longest rickshaw ride of my life! no joke! half an hour to some random place in our city. on our way back, after eating indian sweets and offending someone's cousin's uncle, (or something), i had a revelation. auto rides are just like the indian jone's ride in disneyland! i tried to explain this to sarah, but being an okie and never having been to disneyland, (i know, a sin for sure), she could hardly understand. well, the temple of doom ride is very indian. for reals, check out the decapitated hindu god next time you are in line-pretty much amazing. wull, you get in this crazy jeep that jerks you to and fro; zooms to the left and then to the right; it breaks down and then starts again; it has no regard for bumps in the road. if you ask me, that is just like an auto! well, at least like the auto ride we had today into the boondocks of our city. so, who needs a season pass to disneyland when you can go to india?
we were able to talk more to our family about the Son today, but no real intentionality in the covnersation. our big brother leaves tonight, so maybe in the future we will be able to have more say in the conversation. please lift up our conversations.
one family has really latched onto the fact that i am a nursing student; well, they think i am a nurse. they want me to fix everything, (write perscriptions, give injections, re-bandage wounds). it has been an adventure. please ask that i would have discernment in how to deal with these situations.
tomorrow we go to a family's home that we have only been to once(the lemon water house). we are to have lunch/dinner. little english is spoken by the women, so ask that sarah and i would be bold in communication.
on a different note-the last few days i have been impatient. i have been thinking, "when will i be able to share? Father, let me share about the Son and His work!" but He is good to remind that of isaiah thirtynine:twenty eighty through thirty one. His strength is perfect-just wait. i was able to share more today than i have in a while-PTL!
thanks for lifting us up! love y'all!
(me, rizzi, sarah)
