puppies

welcome to our life of dirty feet in India......
This is how well the trash cans work...

A monkey we fed!!!!!!
One kid in a kid's club we go to.
Some more of the kids
So i think that the excitement of being here has now vanished, and we are going into the hardest part of our trip... We moved into the children's home a couple day's ago, so now we have a whole floor to ourselves (but it is extremely lonely.) We have made up a schedule for the kids in the home, so every day we are teaching them life skills or just fun things we think they would like to know. We love spending time with the kids, and that seems like it takes our mind off of missing home so much. We also found two puppies that were extremely sick the other day while we were lost trying to find the children's home. We had walked from where we used to stay, and really had no clue where we were going, we were talking so we weren't even paying attention. And then we found ourselves lost, having no idea where we were. But we came across a litter of puppies next to an abandoned shack, so we stopped to see them. And the two we took were the smallest of 6, and they both walked up to us. So we just had to take them. We took them home and got puppy formula for them, but it has been a hard job, they like to stay up all night so we weren't really getting any sleep, but they made us happy. :) But we decided that we were getting too attached to them, and so were all the kids (they would be up here all the time playing with them) and that the puppies were getting attached to us too. We also knew that it would be really hard to find a home for them when we left, and to put them back on the streets would just be murder because they wouldn't be able to fend for themselves. So today we made the decision to try and find the litter again, it was so sad. But we were able to find them, and we put the puppies down and they reunited with their brothers and sisters, we waited to make sure they would take them back and they did, so we were happy about that. But now we are missing our babies.. Their names were Abu(from Aladdin), and Beniah (from David's mighty men.) 

India is still the same, we are still trying to learn Hindi, and being attacked by mosquitos at all minutes of the day. Our new place is the roof of this house, its our gym, our prayer closet, our talking place, and the occasional place to read and tan when we have a little time to ourselves. We love it up there. It is also used as a bathroom...(yes a bucket on the roof...) 

God has really been challenging me a lot over here, He is teaching me so much every day about the love he has for me. He is changing me so much, this trip really has been a life changing experience already.
