Just a quick update for you all. We are leaving for India this weekend, in 2 shifts. We will be there for the next 5 weeks working with orphanages and lepor colonies. We will have restricted internet access so there will likely be no blogs for a while.
This past week we had a traumatic event occur at the hostel we were staying at. Our whole group, with the exception of Patrice’s team was held up at gunpoint in our hostel and a lot of our stuff was taken. Fortunately we are all safe, and the passports that were taken have been replaced. Please pray for us, and if you want to read more go to www.markstratmann.theworldrace.org and read his latest blog post.
I personally lost my big bag that had all my clothes, tent, sleeping mat, toiletries etc. I also lost my camera and the memory card that was in it. God did do some miracles though, I found my passport that I thought was missing, the robbers took my wallet but dropped it outside WITH my money still in it, and the next day I found my memory card with half of my pictures from the year sitting underneath where we had been sitting and I know that they didn’t throw it at us. I think God gave me my pictures back. There are many who had things taken, but we are all going to be ok. Thanks for all the support thus far.
