making progress...

God has been continuing to do a work in me, but it's been getting better as each day passes. I got a package from my mom today, and that made my day. There's nothing like having a piece of home when your half way across the world. haha

Janna and I are starting to plan a Christmas program for about 70 children and it's getting interesting. Before coming here, I rarely worked with kids. Being here, I can't be around them enough! Just yesterday, we went to Sangam Vihar and helped serve lunch to all the kids. I think Janna and I stressed the teachers out instead of trying to help take the load off. But we had fun, and so did the kids. Everyone eats such simple foods here. Rice and dal was what the kids had for lunch. In good ol' America, kids cry if they don't get their favorite chips with their meal.

Oh and I totally forgot..On Wednesday, I was asked to share for about 2 minutes. And so I did. I went to the front, stood in front of everyone and shared. It was my first "official" time sharing in church, and I didn't do all that bad. I introduced myself as MoMo because everyone seems to like that. Not because it's easy to remember, but because MoMo is a very common food in India and they think it's funny that people back home call me that as a nickname.

The week to come is going to get crazy with Christmas coming up and all the church programs that we've been invited to, but I'm excited to see what God has in store! NOt to mention, we are supposed to go Christmas decoration shopping in a few days and me and Janna are especially excited to make the apartment feel more like home :) When it's all done being decorated, I'll make sure to post pictures :)

Miss and love you all!
