I'm sitting here in a cyber cafe with Susie, Everett and lot's of dehradun'ers... We're sitting very close, and using a VERY greasy keyboard.
ANYWAYS, we just got finished teaching two English classes at the Heritage school. The classes went extremely well! The first class was tons of fun, we had "conversation time" we talked about EVERYTHING from terrorist taxi drivers to cute bollywood actors. Then we gave them there first assignment to create a news cast in English! They chose the topics it's raining noodles, indian celebrities, miracle pill that cures all, meteor hits earth & I think monkey attacks was the last one. There's alot of monkey's in India. The second class was very elementary and they wrote a story of something that has happened to them in English to practice using past tense. Yesterday we went to a small church and met some amazing people, Everett led worship and Susie, Everett and I all told a story of Jesus. Most of the children who go there are christian but a few are Buddhist it was really awesome to see that's the Buddhist children wanted to spend there Sunday mornings learning and worshiping Jesus. After church we went to Moosurie, a town in the Himalaya's and hiked the mountain. it was BREATHTAKING! the scenery was unlike anything i have ever seen before! absolutely gorgeous. god is cool. We'll be teaching one more class this evening and hanging out with the students for the rest of the night. It's diner time now so I'll blog a bit more later...
Much love <3 Bree

In 1991 I postulated the theory:
ReplyDeleteGod is love,
love is cool,
therefore:
God is cool.
19 years later, my daughter treks half way around the globe to the mountains of India and confirms, yes: God IS cool.
Wish I was there. Love you Boo.

Hey sis! I'm SOOOO happy you're having a good time over there i wish i could be there with you! I'm leaving tomorrow at 5 in the morning to go to NYSUM i just found out the other night that i will be in charge of teaching a sermon one night! I titled it "feeling abandoned" and im going to talk to about 200 inner-city Harlem and Brooklyn kids!! I'm going to talk about Paul and Silas and how they went to jail for doing something for God and even when they were stripped and beaten God didn't abandon them. I feel like that's what God wants me to talk about so I am :). Anyways, I miss you like crazy and I hope you have an amazing rest of the trip I'm praying for you and I LOVE YOU! -Cj
