Aw India

3 weeks left in India.

Some days I sit and think, I don't want to leave here. Other moments I think it will be so nice to be home. Indian people are hard to describe, but they love hard,at the same time they can hate hard. They seem to have strong personalities. So the people I have met, I have really fallen in love with. I can not imagine not seeing them ever again, or being so far from them. The students are the school are so wonderful, full of passion and soft hearts for learning. I love walking into the school in the mornings, and seeing two or three students that came in early, and welcome me with a big hello. There is a women named Sylvia who is older, and always greets me with one kiss on each cheek. I sat with her today and just chatted for a bit. She asked me when i was returning to India. That was a moment when i didn't want to imagine not ever see her again or for a long time. She was sitting there content, wrapped in a sauree and covered in grace. Her gray hair compliments for disposition. I feel like she is the wise old owl in the school, everyone loves her. A student today asked me " What are your hobbies". My first response was music, but really i felt like i used it as a crutch. I felt I needed to say something, but really my hobbies including doing random acts of kindess. ha I am a accidental traveler, who is always try to make it back home. ha I then asked him what his were, and he said " reading the word, and being with my Jesus." I loved that answer. I said, that was the perfect hobby to have. I love just seeing them, and watching how the talk and laugh. In the mornings the guys all gather in one room, and will sometimes just laugh the morning in, until worship starts. One morning i could hear singing, and I asked another lady students to tell me what they were singing. In Tamil, their language they were singing about David and the Lions den, and other bible characters. All of them dancing and singing...all about Jesus. I just can't help but smile all the time. I want to sit with each of them and just know their stories. I want to have dinner with them, and spend a day in their lives. I really have grown to love the way people are here. The men will even tell you things in America would be terriable, and I find it refreshing their honesty. A student went up to someone at school, and just said..." so you started loosing weight?". We all began to laugh and the other students didn't know why. They just say sometimes what is on their minds. India truly can bring a lot of joy. I think that more then India, its being right where God wants me that brings me the most joy of all. Its so fun to know that I am here and meeting people so far from my home!

So with 3 weeks left... I am going to try to soak up as much of India as I can.
