You can't really see the home owner, but he is next to me in the doorway.
Our drive back once again turned into a lovely excursion and we ended up pulling off in some alley way so that our bus driver could collect some sort of equipment for the other buses. Sketchy. Then Chelsea and I both had to use the bathroom so we crossed ANOTHER highway and attempted to communicate our need for a bathroom to some individuals at a "Dentist" office. Sketchy. We finally got our point across and were able to use their restroom which was, of course, SKETCHY. Our 2 hour drive had turned into a 4 hour drive but we eventually made it back safely. In India, everything ends up taking longer than expected. We timely people here (Chelsea and I) are struggling a bit with the lack of organization and punctuality. But hey, it's all part of the experience, I guess.
Tonight I was reminded of what an example CHILDREN are, of unconditional LOVE and so many things that are good. The kids here @ Rising Star are incredible. They welcome every person, young or old, dark or white, and make them SMILE. What a talent they have to help others feel LOVED. Many of these children come from less than ideal situations and are deprived of love and attention in multiple aspects. And yet, they give of LOVE so freely and so genuinely. I feel like LUCKY to have associated with such wonderful kids, even if only for a short time. I have been a recipient of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.
