Whistling

I want to first say " Happy Elephant god day" to you. incase you were wondering what is happening in India today. Everyone ( who worships the elephant god) has gone out and bought tons of fruit, and new saris, and are going to worship ( they say poocha) their god. This also includes a huge home cooked meal, and lots of probably really weird activities ( that I am happy to not be participating in). When I got up this morning, and went to the restroom, I could hear all the music outside. Its pretty crazy.

speak of crazy I have some more photos I took, and will post them soon.

Other then that, a quick short story.

When I first arrived here in India, we pulled into our "neighbor hood" (which I think I mentioned earlier), thats guarded by security guards, that are about 60, and blow whistles all night long as they walk around "guarding and protecting". At first I wonder how I was going to sleep with the whistling, and ended up sleeping fine. OH YES on a sidenote: I've been here a month now...CRAZZYYAA. So I've become quite comfortable with the area, and the whistle, and Hannah, and ... India. The other evening it was pouring rain, and when it rains...it rains all through the night. When I went to get into bed and read, it was so quiet, I was kinda like...what's going on?? I then realized I couldn't hear any whistling. Then I SERIOUSLY thought, what if our neighbor has been taken over, cause the whistle wasn't there. I then came to the conclusion that 1. I really love the whistling security guards, and now find it a comforting noise in the evening. and 2. It was pouring rain, so they weren't walking around... and 3. that meant our neighborhood was fine, and not being taken over. 4. praise God

Its so funny how life becomes life wherever you are. I remember my sister telling me once, that you can never escape life wherever you go, it will find you. The world is full of people, and once you arrive somewhere, you will eventually make friends, get a job, and then get frustrated at your friends, and get tired of your job. Its not a place you are trying to get to, or away from. Its really people. ha. Then again we all want people in our lives. There it is. Life. Not that I am tired of my job or friends here...but. I now feel like this is life here, like this is home. I like the neighborhood, the school, my friends, and the sounds at night. See India in the eyes of some people would be an adventure...which it is, and I agree too. Though somehow it also becomes so normal at the same time. I was driving home the other night, and had that feeling of " oh I can't wait to get into my bed..." I forgot about how crazy the roads were, and the people, and the lights, it was just a normal drive home.

very bizzard.

so I guess if you are somewhere, and you feel like you are tired of life. IF you go somewhere else, you will run into it again. Enjoy right where God has you...its all worth it, and He loves you.

you are all blessings to me!
