Some Pictures

Click on the thumbnail to see a larger picture.













Our lovely half-hour in Shanghai China. It looks like America except for the UPS workers are Chinese as are the letters above them! Okay, so we only saw the airport...


The city of Gurgaon, like Delhi is very much modernizedand has a great deal of malls similar to those in the west.


A snapshot of the streets of Gurgaon.


Hanuman, the monkey god...


A small boy sitting outside the Hanuman temple, with a brahmin priest in the background.


The hill country of Bhimtal. The weather is considerably cooler, much like California. The hills are amazing!


Roadside shops in Bhimtal. People are always selling things everywhere. Even children risk their lives running beside cars two-inches away from a steep ledge, just to sell pears. They do have much experience though.


This dog was a friendly guest in the YMCA center in Bhimtal.


This is a wild, un-zood monkey. These little guys carry diseases and are the equivalent of large rodents in India. Except on the day of Hanuman, the locals will feed them bananas.


Everyone from the retreat.

I am MUCH lighter of heart now that I have some small piece of you (via your pics!) I cannot wait to get an "in person" account of your experiences. I miss you so very much and you are in my thoughts and prayers EVERY SINGLE DAY! We all love and miss you!

Hi guys,

What I was reading this morning led me to pray for you.

"We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all of the saints, because of the hope laid up for you in heaven."

Oops. Hit enter and wasn't finished yet. What struck me was that their faith in Christ and the love they had for the saints were because of their hope in heaven. I prayed that God would give you both a constant awareness of the hope laid up for you both in heaven and that it would increase your faith in Christ and would deepen the love you have for these dear Christians you are spending time with. Every single brother and sister you spend time with will share in this eternal reward with you. Love them. Trust Jesus.

I'm looking forward to hearing some reflections on your time at the women's conference... from both of you. It was neat to see you guys standing with Brajen. I love that guy. Tell him I said hello and that I send him a big hug!
