Experiences in India

  • cows in the middle of the street
  • constructing a building with a wooden platform
  • shoveling rocks into a heap
  • peeing on the streets (men)
  • meat hanging in the open air and sun
  • slums 
  • dirty children
  • people walking around in their bare feet
  • goats, chickens and cows eating garbage
  • rivers polluted with garbage and feces
  • billboards with western women in contrast with women in burkas and sarees
  • eating with our right hand
  • using the squatty potty without toilet paper. We just rinse with water
  • holy cows crossing lanes of traffic
  • kids swimming in the Krishna River
  • beggars that are incredibly thin
  • bowed and shrunken legs
  • elephantiasis
  • people driving jaguars 
  • people sleeping on the streets
  • warm, genuine, kind smiles and laughter
  • naked children
  • smells of dung, pee and rotting vegetables

       

      Continue to pray for the country of India. Pray for the poverty, hunger and thirst of these people.
