Stacy and I attended an all India Young Single Adult conference in Hyderabad. I didn't attend for the purpose of finding my 'soul mate' as I found out later, many had. The church is growing here in India and it is very exciting. There were supposed to be around 400 young adults there but over 500 attended! All of the wonderful people I met impressed me immensely and I am so happy that we went

Alright, I am sorry that it has been awhile since I have updated but I have been going here and there as hopefully you will realize from the following! To begin Kerala is a state in South-west India and I spent about a week and half wandering through its beauty. We got two weeks off of college to study for our final exams. If you know me well you know that I hardly study anyway, let alone when I

So I have a new favorite thing in this world. And that is the rousing sport of Cricket (the game not the small insect). Any who have had the pleasure of being outside of the states in one of our fellow former British colonies, would know that Cricket is no laughing matter as silly as it may look to our mindless football sensibilities. It took me a while to understand the game but now that I do,

We had a branch activity at church this last weekend and it was loads of fun! It lasted forever, but in a good way because we got to know the other members better and were taught some awesome Indian Dance moves into the bargain! Gideon is about seven years old and he is probably the most adorable thing in creation! He really liked my camera so I decided to let him play with it for sometime.

So I joined the Christ College Girls Football Team (soccer for you uncultured types) last week!! A girl just asked if I played and when I answered with the affirmative she asked me if I wanted to be on the team, no tryout neccessary! I haven't played in a long time so I was a little nervous on the first day of practice, worried that my inadequate playing abilities would be scoffed at and I would

Alright, I know it has been too long since I last left a blog and I suppose I could use the excuse that I have just been doing to many fantastic things to have time to write and that is partly true but still not a good reason for negect. Last weekend we went to a city in Karnataka that is known for its historical import. We were only there for two days but we were still able to see a batootie

Hampi, is a now small village located in the hills of central Karnataka (that's a state in India, brush up on your geography). It was once the seat of one of the most powerful and largest kingdoms in India. The king was very rich and very religious so he built temples to every god and for everything that happened. I mean it when I say it, apparently there are over 2,000 temples,, or former

Just to begin, this isn't a message on how I'm an aunt or anything for none of my beloved, though messed up siblings, have yet reached that stage (forgive me but even Momma says your messed up!), nor is it a direct letter to my Aunts though I love them very much. This is just what the kids I tutor call me when they see me.I volunteer at a grade school that is sponsored by Christ College in one

So, I am new to this whole 'blog' thing but I thought it might be easier and less intrusive for those that don't really want to get emails from me. Hopefully all of you know that I am currently living in India. If this is surprising news to you than that makes me quite sad because it means that we haven't talked for ages, which just isn't acceptable. I am incredibly happy to report
