Attention: we are not coming home, please send our families, and our pillows!

We have been without internet these past few days so we’ll do some catching up tonight.

Words fail at a time like this. You simply cannot imagine how wonderful this place is and how beautiful and playfully loving these girls are. They truely have captured our hearts…every one of us.

Each evening, when the girls come home from school, we play. And I mean we REALLY play. I have sweated like never before. But even more beautiful and life-altering were the prayers that we shared tonight with the girls.

We sang to them and they sang to us. Then we asked if they would pray for us and allow us to pray for them. All 64 girls rose to their knees and prayed more passionately and fervently than you can imagine. We just basked in their prayers knowing that God must have been listening extra attentively. For several minutes this went on; sincere prayers from all 64 girls at the same time.

Then we got down on our knees and prayed for them and sang a song over them. It was incredibly moving, bringing several of us to tears and the rest of us to the brink.

I really cannot do justice to just how much these beautiful girls have made their way into our hearts. Arun and Shobba along with the six caretakers are amazing giving the girls not just food and an education but also love, love, and more love.

Perhaps you will want to come back with us…or perhaps you’ll want to accompany our pillows…we’ll keep the light on for you.
