What a day! We started out this morning with our children and went and visited Butterfly Hill. It is absolute paradise. We've had our children here at Daddy's home since we arrived in Vijayawada on Tuesday. They are incredible and have unbelievable and manners and respect and love for us.
We have taken the 158 school shopping and tomorrow morning we will take the 167 school shopping. It is so much fun but lots of work to shop for 100 children.
V and E, I had asked if Jaswanthi could spend the weekend with us as well as my sisters Thriveni. Thriveni ended up in the hospital with a serious infection in her eye and it was a blessing that we had her here at Daddy's home so that she could get help right away. Jaswanthi is one of the sweetest girls we've ever met. I was telling her about you V and E and said that you have two dogs and she said yes yes Duncan and Guffman. She loved your gifts so much.
Tonight, we had to bring the kids back to school. We totally feel like our hearts were ripped right out of our chests.
Yesterday, we were able to go visit Rajesh's home. He had all of the things we sent him on his shelf in his 2 room 8X12 home that his family struggles to pay the $300 yearly rent.
I better go,
talk to you soon,
Lori and the rest

Hi Lori,
It's Sunday evening. It was a pleasant day here. I picked up Curtis at Boy Scout camp and we went to church. Stayed at home the rest of the day. We enjoyed your last post. Glad to hear that the trip is going very well. We all look forward to seeing you later this week.
Love Jim
Amy, It was wonderful to talk with you this morning (for me). It will be great to see you soon. Travel safe and enjoy the ride.

Tell Annie God is looking out for her boys in lots of little ways. Truman seemed a little nervous to go to Lifeshaping class on Sunday. But just as he was about to go in Abby showed up and they went together. When I came to pick Abby up, Trumy was sitting next to her at the table, highly involved in the activities and seemed to be enjoying himself.
And we got to sit by Jacob in the service--and Jay & Ethan got to come and sit right by him, too. :)
LOL to you ladies!!!
Happy Birthday Amy--what a way to spend a birthday!!!
Dear Lori~
It is so exciting to watch you ladies give in this way! May God keep you safe!
