Our Time in India

It would appear that our time in India is coming to an end. We just aren't sure how soon that end will be. We are hoping to remain in India to allow the kids to finish the school year out, which means June. While leaving Illinois was the toughest thing I (and the rest of the family) ever had to do it has been the most incredible experience we could have ever asked for. We have been able to see and witness so many things in this world that God created. I have loved witnessing the Indian culture even though it has frustrated me to no end. I will miss the Indian people and their genuine kindness. I will miss the good friends that have become like family. I will miss the blue sunny skies. And I will miss our life here. But all that being said we look forward to returning to the United States of America. There are so many things we took for granted living in the US and I pray that we never take them for granted again! There is much discussion to be had as far as the transition back and I will update the blog when more news occurs. Thank all of you for your loving support and prayers you have offered our family before the move to India, during the move to India and our time in India. I would ask that you would continue:-)

Wow...I thought your time in India was to be for 2 to 3 years. Time does fly. We now live in Delphi,IN. Since September 29th. Email me sometime and I will give you the scoop. Take care and I must admit I will miss your life in India as well. Thanks for posting so well.

No way! So soon? You've adapted so well to life here and have been an inspiration. We'd better get our skates on and meet up soon or we'll never do it!

What? You're leaving? I thought you were going to be staying here thru next year. Oh I'm so bummed... we haven't even had a chance to get together since the holiday break.

Please keep me posted!
