India's word= Adjust

hey hey all,
I am so sorry I have not written anything since being states side, but the Internet connecting process is not working on my computer so this is the first chance i have had to write anything.
so we adjust:)
Even if I had Internet all the time we have been burning the candle at both ends and time to sit is few and far between. As many of you are aware my flight to India was postponed, thus i landed in India the day after Christmas. Because of this, the children will be receiving Christmas presents on New Years.
So we adjust...
So ever since I landed it has been Go Go Go. Preparing Christmas for 300 children is more overwhelming then I ever expected. One of the things I love about Agape is they treat these kids like their own children, not like an institution. every gift is planned and thought out, the child's package is made with them in mind all the way down to the appropriate hair piece according to length of hair.
I was not feeling well at all when I landed, most likely from the stress of not being able to find my ride amongst the hundreds of India people. But when I saw the kiddos a few hours later I was back to myself, or an exhausted version. So thanks to some local volunteer college organization that came to do a presentation (play a drum solo and dance some free style, it was interesting to say the least) I got to see all the kids at the same time.
It was such a joy to see them, and oh i love how they freak out and all scream MISS AMY MISS AMY, and they all fully expect that i can sit next to each one of them...
SO some updates include, DEEPAK IS HUGE!!! well skinny as can be but very tall, his vision is not so good so i honestly don't think he understood who i was because the other blonde volunteer that has come to agape in the past is Miss Emily so confusion is understandable.
The precious thing was, when I picked him up and hugged him and whispered "PRAY-ME-SHU-NA-NOON" which is I love you in telegu, he realized who i was and screamed and hugged my face saying "MAY-ME, MAY-ME" cause he cant say Amy :) so so cute

So Life in India is good... I really like it here, it is hard to adjust but its getting more and more normal. The only thing I dont get use to is the food, rice rice rice... and lynne has me eat when i get home even if it is 11 or after midnight, and for all who know me i like my belly shut off after 7pm... so again we adjust:)

I do ask you all to keep Lynne in your prayers, I have been working next to her alot and have seen the huge burden she is carrying. Her work load is intense, and frankly to much so please be praying for her as this is the hardest time of the year.

Oh and another surprising plus of living at lynnes house... wait for it, wait for it....
HOT WATER!!!!!!!!
so i haven't had to take a clod bucket bath all week!!! and i drink coffee in the morning, American coffee not India :) so life is definitely not as shockingly different here this time around... so i came a tad over prepared in some areas and under in others oops...
So we adjust:)

I am very excited to see what God has in store. As I am spending times with Him and walking each day, my goal has been to look and see where God is working and join Him there.
I would love to write more about what the Lord is teaching me and showing me as well as all the details of this amazing place but it is late and I am praying I will have the opportunity to write soon.
many blessings and thank you for all your prayers
-Amy
