9 days...

Really can not believe my time is running out...

Today I was at the school, and just had the best time with all the students. They were trying to get me to say things in their language...which I am so bad at it. I always seem to laugh so hard, and pretend I am a student here. I am enjoying getting to know all of them, and their stories. I wish i wasn't leaving them so soon, but I believe God will bring me back to see them again somehow.

One student, gave me a present today and she just kissed me on the cheek when I went to hug her, and thank her. Two days ago I had shared with her that I loved her top, and she smelt so lovely. She showed up to school today with a brand new top ( that fit me perfectly) and her perfume. Her perfume happen to just be spray deodorant...so at first I thought that I maybe smelled of something. I asked her " Oh, so do I smell sometimes?" and she looked so confused, she said, " Oh, No I thought you liked my smell?". I was just so surprised that someone would do such a sweet thing. I really was so blessed by her.

There are so many things that I find to think about, while I have been here. Sometimes I feel like i think more then i speak. David has told me, that sometimes you can tell I stop listening in the middle of someone talking. I think I begin to think about the first things they shared, and forget that they are still speaking. When i go and sit somewhere my mind starts to think about all the things around me, and everything that is happening. I find it overwhelming, I guess. The way that everything is so different, and I can't put it all together. Its not like a puzzle in India, you can't make it all fit the way you like it to. You have to see that its differences is what make it fit.
If you were try to fit India inside of America, it wouldn't work. I think every place changes over time, people change as well. Life doesn't sit at a stand still, but sometimes it seems like it. Really if you watch carefully change happens every moment. So I continue to watch India change, and its astounding.
