Well...

Our train was late the other night but not as late as the one in Mumbai, so seriously, no big deal. I think we were all coming off of a sugar high because we chose not to eat dinner so we grabbed some snacks instead. Veer came back on the bus with chips, chocolate, cookies & soda. Our crash happened at the station, so we got tired fast. Anyways, on the train we were stacked in 3s, We were all kinda, well, lets just say we weren't perky cause we were all so tired. I was on the 2nd bunk from the bottom & some guy was telling me to wake up because he wanted to sit up (his bed was under me). So I got kicked out of my bed, Veer saw what happened & decided to give me his bunk, poor guy, he ended up staying awake. It's funny how things happen. I can't believe I was so patient during that whole thing!!! Thank you, Jesus!!! We are now in Angamaly, taking a break from our shopping trip. We just picked up tons of toys for the orphans here. There are 120 of them! And they are beautiful! They put flowers around our necks & guess what, they love making funny faces!!!! I think it's funny when a kid can make funny faces back at you, especially when it's 120 of them. We are about to go look at a washer for clothes & maybe some lunch, by then, the children should be out of class. I guess I'll add more later. Until then..... : ^ P

I am very glad that you are doing so well, Tia. You are a great example and I am proud to know you. Stay strong and focused. In the words of Henry Ward Beecher, "Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Never excuse yourself." Thanks, Tia for the link and the update. Have fun and come back safe to us.

That bunk story is a classic, and your rendition helped me picture it perfectly. As for the kids' making faces, it's cool how we can interact in the strangest of way, huh?
