It's Sunday Funday
So i'm doing my postings for the week. Sorry i wish i could post them gradually, but it's a challenge to get to it during the week. I needed a new addiction and since I don't have my Alias, or 24 dvds here i decided I should give LOST a try. Haven't been a fan. Will let you know if i get hooked.
Trash
The trash man comes everyday. Well he's suppose to. He wasn't coming to pick up our trash and we ended up having a creature visit us. a rat. not my favorite. this was a problem for about a week. until i got some rat cake at the store. He ate it all and hasn't come back. Now I make sure to set an empty water bottle outside to lure the trashman upstairs to pick up our garbage. They recycle the plastic so it has some value. So far it's been working.

Making up for lost time.
Sorry to go dark on you! No I didn’t get swallowed by the monsoons, and thankfully I wasn’t down for the count. Just had a busy week and then the internet was down all weekend. Thanks for your emails & interest!
This Week
This week we have a few meetings to try to register iSanctuary here in India. Please pray for us, that we get the right contacts to help us accomplish this task, and that we set it up the best way possible. Also, it’s time for me to start on some photography, which will be the beginning of a large project. Thanks to Mark our graphic artist and photographer, I’ve got what I need. Pray I’m able to capture the images we need. Photographing the girls anonymously is going to be a challenge.
The girls
The past few times at the homes, I’ve gotten a chance to just hang out with the girls. We hadn’t gotten any of the items we needed for the Christmas projects yet, so we couldn’t start on them. And since I don’t know how to make jewelry I was little help there. I’ve been able to speak a bit of broken English, learn some dance moves, learn an Indian magic trick, and get all my knuckles on my fingers and toes cracked. So one of our conversations we were talking and the girls asked, “Didi, (sister) you eat chicken?” I nod and said yes. “You eat fish?” I said yes. “You eat snake?” No. “You eat pig?” Sometimes. “You eat rat?” “NO!” I said, and they all started giggling and laughing. They don’t know how much I hate the creatures.
“Are you kidding me?”
I had it as a goal of mine to get Su to add a saying to her vocabulary by the time Steph got here. Su’s always adopting Steph’s sayings. It’s pretty cute. All week I’m hearing her say, “Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?” and I’m thinking, ‘where’d she get that? Steph doesn’t say that.’ Then it dawned on me that my friend Erin told me once, after I had said, “Are you kidding me?” how many times I say that. LOL mission accomplished!
