Yeah, I know I’ve been here almost two weeks and you haven’t heard much but a peep out of me. For that I apologize. I just wanted to send a quick update letting you all know that I’m alive. Here’s a few things in a neatly numbered list that I want you all to know:
1. Mom – I love you.
2. Dad – I love you too.
3. Jessica – as you say sometimes, “I love you, but don’t always like you.” (I say this because I’m 10 1/2 hours away and you can’t hit me…)
4. Brenna – gosh dangit I’m sorry.
5. I’ve been sick and it sucks.
6. Not sure if it was herpes, worms, or a fungus on my arm, but it’s going away.
7. Indian food is good, though spicy, though good.
8. The peanut butter and milk here is funky.
9. Pizza Hut – still good.
10. Pray that sickness leaves our squad.
11. Loadshedding more than five times in six hours sucks.
12. Standing on the roof and shouting praises and prayer in a Hindu nation is fun.
13. Standing on the roof and watching airplanes take off and land at the airport is hypnotizing.
14. Losing your identity is rough (future blog)
15. Being lied to by the devil ticks me off (future blog)
16. Monsoon season rocks.
17. I don’t like rickshaw drivers (future blog)
18. I’m glad Jesus loves them (same future blog)
19. The metro has a wicked A/C
20. I’m confused as to why Indians like Americans so much yet don’t.
21. Pray for more boldness in us sharing the gospel.
22. Thank you for all of your support in the last few weeks. It makes me love you and miss you all more.
23. My commitment to taking more pictures is waning.
24. Terri Cash – I miss your cooking… and you, of course!
25. Teagan Highfill – God be with you.
26. Kim Daniels – don’t forget your assignment (wink wink)
27. There are cows everywhere here.
28. I feel bad for the stray dogs. Simply said: international dogs suck. Don’t ever be one.
29. Everything’s cheap here, it’s great for snacking.
30. Dunn Bros. Coffee – R.I.P.
31. They don’t eat red meat here. If you’re a vegetarian, move to India. If you’re not, avoid it like the plague.
32. I’m pretty sure God’s going to heal me so I can go do ministry without wanting to vomit or pass out.
33. Hi mom (for your morning home page).
34. The keyboard at this internet cafe, yeah, I swear they made it at Fisher-Price.
35. I like making these lists.
36. Worship on the roof is fun.
37. Caroline – I hope the wedding is freakin’ awesome. Dance for me. Drink some red wine for good health. And eat some red meat for me.
38. Mick – your email was amazing; I loved it and laughed a lot out of love.
39. Jesus loves you.
40. Caroline AND Kim – bring me Dark Chocolate Peanut M&Ms… thank you.
