random overviews.

its been a whirlwind week. as we welcomed 9 amazing women from IWU here for 3 weeks. they are so fun! and its been an adventure leading 9 little chickadees around the city single file. don't worry no one really even notices...ha.
so this is going to be about as sporadic as they come this morning...but here's a few updates:
-9 girls. nicely arriving in india. do think of us as we hopefully create space for them to discover the heart of god in a new and face ripping and profound way here. i already see it happening in this first week and i love it!!!
-last week i got my ticket to New Zealand for the fall woooaaahhh!
-saturday i got to see Imagination and the way she bounded in from the back room to give me a big bear hug literally melted my heart. she is doing so good. and although her foot is still bothering her some its still amazing to see her walking around after having to carry her up stairs and lay her in taxis only a few months ago! her life is such a colorful story of redemption. plus, from living at the rehab home, she's now gotten quite rolly polly and i love it!
-i got to hang out with some new nepali ladies this week. they were pretty disturbed that i'm not married yet but if thats the only issue they have with me, and they letme come back and hang out in their room, then i can take the heat...

there's quite a lot more happening that i'll refrain from writing on at the moment. but do keep us all in your thoughts these days.
more to come when i'm at my own computer in the comfort of my own room. not in a cafe among 35 of my closest new friends...(i've been staying the past few nights with the team at their hostel, although its been a fun throw back to those camp sleep over days, i think i could use a nights sleep in my own bed again)
more to come. peace.

9 chickadees following you around single file in Kolkata, oh what a sight Beth... I thought the team was coming in July?

nope, they're here now. and they all seem to know about the famous "live from marion debut" kyle scott. i can't believe the living legend is coming to live with us in kolkata...
