Almost over...

I can't believe that in about two weeks I'll be heading home. It's so strange.... one minute I cannot wait to get on that airplane, and then the very next second something happens and thinking of going home makes me want to cry. I have absolutely loved these past few months in India. It's been so much fun... I've never felt more free or alive in my whole life. There have been so many frustrating moments, and so many times when I just wanted to pack my bags and take the next flight home... but I think that's just India. It's not the easiest place to live, but it's a place that I've come to love over these past few months.

I'm excited about these next couple of weeks. Shells and I have already made a list of all the things that we have to do and it's pretty long. We always talk about how much we will miss this or that, and how much we will not miss a lot of things (numbers 1-10 are all the smell of something). I've started dreaming about cheeseburgers and washing machines and actually feeling clean for the first time in months. Coming home is going to be great, but I'm going to miss India so, so much. Mostly I will miss the friends I've made here and the randomness of this crazy country. There isn't a day that passes where we don't say "This would only happen in India...." So that's where we are now... getting ready to spend a great last two weeks and getting ready to say a lot of hard goodbyes. Please pray for us as our time winds down... I know it's going to be so hard to leave!

On a side note, there's been an outbreak of scabies at DumDum. Every day we go it seems about two or three more kids have it. I know what you are probably thinking... don't touch those kids!! But with only two weeks left, there's no way we can go there and not hold these beautiful children that have become like our family. If you think about it, please pray that we wouldn't get scabies because well, who really wants scabies?? I can't talk about it much or I start itching... so that's all about that. I hope all is well back home... see you soon!
