We're back from the village again, and our time there has been amazing. This week after Tim and I leave, Anand and a few other teachers will be moving the children out there to a rented room until construction on the permanent home is finished. The school has been started, and 20 different families are joyous that their children are receiving an education in their own village. The kids who have been in school up to this point have to send their kids off to schools in other towns, making it way more expensive because they have to come up with money for room and board.
We're enjoying our last few days in India with a trip back to our home in Bangalore tomorrow. We'll get to spend some time with our little brothers and sisters, as well as our fellow workers Will and Elyssa; it will be amazing to hear what their work has been yielding all the way across the country. Today is one of our host's birthday, so we'll be going out to eat and maybe even to the imax movie theater later today in the really modernized part of town. Please be praying for our travels these last few days, and the ongoing work to which we have had the opportunity to be but a small part.
