India!!!!
WOW!!! I'm finally here in India. I think we got here around 1:00am in the morning or so, anyways.... I thought that when I first got here, it would be more like a dream, like I wasn't really here. Well, I am, and it's not like a dream, it's different in a way that makes you feel spoiled, but I can't say that's a good feeling.
Today we met up with A.M. Mathew (orphanage director here in Mumbai) & took him shopping for toys to give the children. We got him some chess games, soccer balls, volley balls w/ a net!!! We also got some jump ropes for the for the girls and of course CANDY!!! The best part about being a kid is the natural love of candy. We will go & visit them tomorrow which is great cause we knocked out half of the shopping today which means more time with the children.
Yes, our luggage was lost! We should have it tomorrow. Cliff & Kelly didn't lose theirs, so we've been kinda dippin' in their bags a bit ; ^ )
It's cool though, we'll pay them back w/ interest in hand sanitizer!!!
Thank you for continuing to pray for us while we are out here. We really appreciate it & God Bless!!!
Oh yeah, Kelly & Allison forgot their passport, so I am typing for them & they just want to say "Thanks for all your prayers" & that they "love you" & to keep a look out for their blog which will be posted shortly!! (tomorrow)
Hugs to all, Tia (Allison & Kelly)

Kelly didn't have her passport? I thing I asked her 10 times - do you have your passport? How did she get into India?

Tia,
It sounds like such a great adventure that you are apart of. It's it amazing how God can swoop us out of everything we know and are comfortable with and then drop us a million miles from home. What's more amazing is that He uses us right there and that spot. Tia, know that God has you in His hands and has a very specific plan for you. It sounds like God is already using your sweet heart to speak life and love into the kids there in India. You guys are so amazing for stepping out. I love you and we are praying for you back home.
Love,
Michelle V
