Quick update--
I've been working at the orphanage for a couple days now and
it has literally been amazing. Can't wait to share all of the stories! I am
e-mailing a couple pictures so y'all can get a feel and so you can "tweet"
to "Morgan Freeman" (get it?) about the kids! BUT FOR THE BEST NEWS I
COULD SHARE WITH YOU!!!!!!
Yesterday, we took the baachan (children) to a big field to
play sports. 6 women and a man who were coming to cut down a field came up to
us! I shared the good news w/ a translator and they are now our brothers and
sisters! 7!!!!!!!!! I cried and cried! I can't wait to share all the detail but
whatever y'all are doing, it's working! Keep "tweeting"
Our family that we live with have housed us with open arms and we already call them Ma and Peeta (Mom and Dad)
Also Also- I get to go to a wedding next week and I get to
buy a beautiful sari! Sari I'm not Sari!!!
Don- Read the "read if your stressed" letter. so
good. Thanks for the hour break
Kelsie- you're weekly updates are so sweet
Graham- Saw a man riding an elephant but I won't get to ride
one :(
Hannah- I laugh EVERYDAY because of you.
Matt- It was weird how perfect your note went with what I
was feeling. SERIOUSLY awesome.

Yesterday, we went to the village where our new brothers and
sisters live! This village is super poor and the children don't go to school.
They all work in the fields and ride water buffalo all day. They all are pretty
sick too. Anyways, I would say about easily 60 people (aka the whole village)
came out to see us. We split up into groups and shared the good news! One man
for sure said that he is now following! Which is huge because he probably has a
big family. But there were multiple, multiple people that were "VERY
HAPPY" to hear this and that it was their first time! They had questions
and asked us to come back!
We are now going to spend a lot of time there teaching their
children English and sharing many many stories! We have a good bit of
time to spend with them! So I would love for y'all to TWEET hard for this
village! It's not crazy to think that this could be a village full of people of
peace by the time we leave! I know it's up to Morgan Freeman but you can see
the change once you share love with them.
A WHOLE VILLAGE. not one person. not one family. A WHOLE
VILLAGE.......
Love y'all! Wishing you were here like crazy!

PS- Attaching a picture of me with one of the babies in the
village! People here give their babies like I'm famous. So I may never come
back!!! haha, jk, mom.
PS- I know it's weird that I can e-mail but I'm definitely
not living in amazing conditions. Even the village people who live in straw hut
will whip out their cell phones to record me while I teach their chilren songs!
hahahahha
