I'm going to India today for my summer vacation. I planned an eleven day trip, but one day and one night is a layover in Hong Kong.
Why did I pick India? Many people have asked me and my answers have varied from "they have cheap jewelry" "India is cheap" "India is the second most populated country" "India has elephants" "the plane ticket was cheap" "Australia is winter now" "my friend from high school was indian".
I'm going with Daniel and Jacob, two missionaries here, because they are my friends and I need their protection.
So far some of the news stories the last month about india have been about bombings from Pakistani terrorists, a stampede at a temple, how India's economy is growing, and the push to put rats on the menu in India because there are a lot of poor people.
But I am excited. Daniel, Jacob and I prayed last night that God would direct our steps and use us in his work to bring the light of Jesus to India.
Please also pray for my safety and health :)
I'll be back September 1st! | | |
| I did a few fireworks parties this summer in Japan. Here are pictures from my last one on Koroen beach!
Misa is the girl on the left, then Ken, then Junko. Misa's my student and my friend! She is going to visit me in America sometime!
This is Jacob putting the fireworks in his mouth. Definately picture-worthy.

| On our last week before summer vacation, the missionaries here in Shukugawa went to a Brazilian meat restaurant, all you can eat meat. Really exciting for the texas boys.
Then we went to a water park because Japan summer is so so so hot. The water park was so/so fun because Japanese people are so low risk that they won't even make the pools deep in case anyone drowns. I have never been close to a Japanese pool that was a five footer... even the olympic pool at my old gym!
But the water slide was fun.
This is someone we ran into. He was Chinese.

| This is a lady from my church named Kimiko. She is so cool because she has three kids and always smiles. She is standing with her son, Kanji, who told his parents he wants to marry me :) (haha that makes one at least!) He is one of the cutest kids I have ever met.
this is a japan exclusive: blue pepsi!
