Off to the Ashram

Annemarie, Abby & I are off to stay in an ashram this upcoming week to do VBS. It is about 2 hours away from where we are currently staying, so instead of going back and forth everyday, we are going to stay up there. We visited last week, and it is amazing. They are doing so much there to help people recover from accidents, help cope with disabilities, and much more. I am glad we get to stay there and be a part of their ministry. I ask f or your payers for our safety traveling there and back (Delhi driving is insane!) and also for continued support and enthusiasm while we are there working with the children. My prayer is that God would use us to tell the children about Him in a fun and joyful way!

This weekend has been nice and relaxed! On Friday, we hung out here with Allison. She made us chicken enchiladas, which is quite a feat here in this place where many ingredients are hard to track down! We watched a movie and took it easy. Then yesterday Annemarie and I went shopping for souvenirs for our families, which was fun, despite the fact that neither of us like shopping! We almost got everyone we needed, but have a few more to get. We went and saw a movie in the afternoon. The movie theaters where we went were amazing, and way nicer than in the US! They have assigned seating, which was really weird, but cool! The seats also recline so you can be almost laying down watching the movie. And it only cost 200 Rs, which is about $4. We saw Bride Wars, which has been out for a while in the States but recently released here. It was a weird experience watching an American movie surrounded by people who live here in India. I'm sure they were expecting Annemarie and I to break out into fighting and then be completely emotion, just like the girls in the movie :-) It was a fun experience, though!
