The Team

Here is the team that traveled together for the "Three State Tour." O. is not in it because he insisted on taking the picture. There do seem to be a few stragglers tho...

One day I will learn to check my hair before a photo.
The kids - man did they have fun together - too bad for them school starts up again tomorrow!!!

79 Baptisms

At one location there were 79 people who were baptized! They did three at a time.
Notice the color of the water in the upper photos when the baptisms began and the color of the water in the next photo when they were nearing the end...
The children watching from above.

Praise the Lord!

E.'s Reality

This picture is highly amusing to me and realistic. Once you get past looking at the cutie in the orange shirt giving bad eyes to the camera, shift your gaze over to the right of the photo where you will find G. crying and me - checking her diaper for poopoo. Yes, this is real life people. Thanks E.

But we still love each other.

This one should have gone in the previous post but was somehow deleted...

Pictures By E.

E. (my almost 9 year old) loves to take pictures, here is some of her work from our latest "tour."

I loves that she takes pictures of whatever and whoever she wants. I'm embarrased to take pictures of people I don't know, but E., E. just snaps away - and look at these great pictures!

10 Days

We returned last night from a ten day tour of three states. I was trying to think of an adjective to use in front of "ten day tour" but finally gave up.

exhausting
wonderful
action-packed
fulfilling

I couldn't really settle on one that could describe the experience in a nutshell. It was all those things and much more. We were four families (9 children) all together and a few other stragglers who set out last Tuesday to visit various areas of ministry in the North Indian states of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. Our families (and especially our children) are very close so it was great to travel and minister together. We stopped along the way and visited with believers from our church, pastors who work under our ministry and old friends that we haven't see in ten years.

O. is still in Rajasthan with the menfolk working out some property issues. He should be back tomorrow. I'll be writing more along with pictures later. But we're back...
