After staying in Sielmat for our first month in India we endured a long and rather arduous car ride up into the mountains to different villages and my team stayed in Lungthulien for our 10 days.
Leaving Sielmat I was very discouraged because of how much I had been learning and enjoying my time there, only to arrive in Lungthulien where the Lord showed me that He Always has something better for me than what I think is best.
While 10 days is such a short span of time, I was able to make tons of connections with many of the teachers and children (pictures with names to come)(also many of the kids that didn’t live in the hostels weren’t sponsored and sponsorship goes through Bibles for the World and is more than affordable and worth it for these kids!!!). The day before we left the kids that stay in the hostel of school gave me a traditional scarf and later that night other kids that went to the school but didn’t live on site came to our final ceremony together and gave me one as well. Then the next morning as we left one gave me a sweet goodbye note and another tried to throw me something(no one caught it though) and another was jumping up to high-five me in the truck and I couldn’t stop crying.
All of this was so so sweet and it was such a beautiful confirmation that I impacted some of them as much as they had impacted me…but now I just keep praying for God to send me back soon.
I hope this desire to return is of Him and will therefore be fulfilled in His perfect will and timing but until then I will always have a piece of my heart left there, dormant and waiting.
By the way there was absolutely no signal, let alone Wi-Fi to be had out there in the middle of those mountains, so sorry for the late timing of this!!!!
