Every journey comes to end. And after a very long two weeks, ours has. We signed the adoption papers on Reshma. Now all of her papers and our papers must go to the courts to be approved by the judge and we will be able to bring her back no later than in three months. One of the hardest moments of my life was leaving my little sister in Mumbai. Even though she has lived there her entire life…it was still unbearable.
On the positive end I am so happy to be back in Kenya! Mumbai was a blast but it was very dirty. Every part of Mumbai was as dirty and smelly (if not worse) as the depths of the slums here in Kenya. I was very surprised! The people there are one of a kind! They are so polite and very nice! Every one wants to lend a helping hand and do something to assist us Americans in need! We had a great time with the people. The men there have a small…well actually a large staring problem and wondering eyes really had me uncomfortable. BUT…regardless, we had a good time.
The markets there are wonderful! I bought way too much stuff but it was so fun! I got tons of bangles, and 3 indian dresses, purses, and SHOES! The prices there are just like Kenya expensive until talked down then very CHEAP! We got some really good deals.
Since I’ve been back we have been kinda taking it easy and resting. Yesterday I did have kids play practice and not one child showed up. They all said they didn’t know we had practice…but today (Sunday) we had practice during service and the turn out was great. The kids learned almost 2 full songs and did so good! I love working with the kids I really am thrilled to be able to do this work with the kids here!
So how is Colorado Springs…and every where else? I hope everyone is doing good after conference and a busy year! If you get a chance send me a line! I’d love to hear from yal! Have a brilliant day!
