Thinking about India!


I have been thinking a lot lately about India, Anurag and how I miss my extended family there. I wish somehow that I could be more of help and support for Anurag. The picture above is of one group of kids that were given an ice cream treat.

Esther got to try out the covered bicycle rickshaw that took Shie and loads of other kids to kindergarten. Esther did not want to leave. Now, some of the smaller kids at Anurag still get shuttled in the rickshaw.
I can't believe how fast time flies. It feels like yesterday we were there...


Missing Thatha.

nothing (except the name Jesus) will last forever. Why not try to live and work there for some time? Be confident in our masters hands. Of course there are a lot of things to take into consideration, but you allready have some advantages. My wish would be that all our relatives would live close together, or second best, that it wouldn´t cost anything to travel to each other. Em

I hope you get to go soon! I really missed seeing your mom this summer and miss hearing how things are going at church each month!

Just want to say for the record that Jonas put up this blog. He misses India and I do too. Thinking about the holidays makes it hard knowing that we will not to be with family :-(

Em - it would make us very happy to move closer to family. We are hoping that God opens up the way at the right time - SOON. By the way, don't you owe us a trip here!

yes, in a way you´re right. We owe you a lot.
And for the record.... I saw that it was Jonas that put up the blog.
I hope that I will run in to a moneymountain or a tree with moneyleaves or anything else would be nice. Em

I hope you run into that moneymountain or the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow :-)

P.S. You owe us nothing; we would just LOOOOOVE if you could come see us. Okay, I will stop pleading for visits because it makes people feel bad about not coming to see us and that is not my intention! Now I will just pray a lot and hope...hehehe!

Finally, I found my picture with Esther. I still remember how she loves to touch my beard and take out her hand and smile. And also how she drags the telephone from room to room. She is ac cutie and SSS as Prem says. God bless Esther and kisses to her. ( Thatha ) - Grandpa.
