The white people are melting and the indian people are freezing...

***This blog was originally written last Thursday, the 21st...due to blogger craziness, it didnt get uploaded until now...in order to get the full effect of this email think back to the weather we had the middle of last week - such as frosty nights, seeing your breath, goosebumps and shivering...***



Have any of you seen the movie "Fools Rush In"? There is one line in the movie that perfectly describes part of what we experienced in India...The white people are melting! Last night the reverse happened...

Four amazing men that we got to know while we were in India are here! They all work for The Bible League and came into town for some meetings (in Chicago I believe) and are hanging out here for a short time. Everyone who has visited India was invited to a cookout last night to eat and welcome them. If you happen to live in the Michiana area, or at least keep up with the weather on the news, it was cold yesterday. Abnormally cold. Not cool, cold. And since this outting was planned before even my trip to India in August, the plans were already made to hold this get together at St. Pat's park in a covered picnic area.

Are the pieces fitting together yet?

The Indian guys were definitely outside of their comfort zone last night, in more than one way! But despite the weather, we all had a great time chatting with them and with each other. Members from my team exchanged stories with people who have gone before us, and we all shared stories and advice for the newcomers heading out in October. It was a fabulous night and the weather couldn't burst our happy bubbles.
