Holi is a festival of color in which you basically throw/ rub powered color on people you know and don't know. It's wayyyyyy more fun than it sounds! We went to a friend's apartment complex to celebrate it with them (they're American) and we ended the day with Punjabi dancing :)
The day after, we went to the school and we were welcomed with Holi number two. Two girls covered me and Juliana with colored powder. My face was literally red. Haha
Today, we are going to our second wedding since we've been here and I get to wear my Saree again! I am so excited!
Only two more weeks until I'm going back to the states, and each day is going by faster and faster! Each day I'm treasuring it as it comes... I just don't want to leave. This has been my home for the last six months of my life and now I'm leaving and not sure when I can come back.
One prayer point that I would like you to pray for is one of the slums by the school. The owner of the land is forcing all the families to leave, which could force the children to stop coming to school because of how far they are moving. We are praying that they are able to stay in school and that their family is able to find a place nearby to stay. I just found all of this out yesterday and I was deeply affected by it. This school is the only source of education that these kids are receiving and I don't want to see them picking trash as a living. They not only sell trash as a living, but they also live in piles of trash.
I love these kids and I believe that God has a plan for each one. Please pray that their hunger for the Lord increases and that they would still be able to attend school on a daily basis instead of working with their parents going through trash.
Thank you so much for all of your continued prayers and support! See you all soon!
