Rainfall.

For the whole morning, I held a 9 year boy in my lap, he laid his head on my chest and held my hand... he had cancer and a tumor the size of a tennis ball on the back of his head, with a backwards nike cap on his head to cover it. He was so sweet, he held my hand and walked back and forth in the ward, and then when he was tired he wanted to lay in my lap and we watched Tom and Jerry together. He was beautiful. I felt as if I was touching an angel, as silly as that may sound, its so true. There really aren't words you can say about a little boy like that, so I won't try. He is a gift.
Then I went into another child's room, and he suffered from an electrical burn.. he lost his left arm and his toes on his right foot. He is 15. I don't really know where to put that in my brain, so I just let it be. It is what it is. People suffer. "... and the Lord will wipe away every tear.."

Tonight, it randomly started POURING rain, like I have never felt it rain so hard in my entire life... so naturally we dropped everything and ran outside. Annnd I am now completely soaked. haha. Live.

Tomorrow we leave for the jungle. We are going on a safari and then going white water rafting. Im excited. Then after that, we are going to Chennai to stay at the Hindu hospital for the second half of the trip, Sri Ramachandra University. There is very limited internet access there so I don't know if I will be able to do much blogging from here on out. Thank you so much for supporting me and praying for me.

I dont want to leave this place. There is so much to learn, so much to experience. There is a strange comfort about this place... I know I will be back. That is the only thing that makes it okay pack up and go... I know I will be back. In the words of Alanis Morsete (err spelling?), Thank you, India.

...and to You be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
