India travels post 1

HELLOOO....I am alive!!! We have been going none stop. It also took a while to find interent. It' s crazy here. The poverty is undescribable. That's all this city is. I've already seen children STARVING, people dead on the streets, people walking around with far stages of leprosy, and so much more. I have a huge respect for the women in this country because I have never felt so degraded in my life. We are staying in an area with no foreigners, so we already stick out like a sore thumb. This country feels like it is 75% men and 25% women. It's unreal. Also NO ONE speaks english. Everytime we get a taxi or on a bus we have no idea if we are really going the wrong way....its kinda scary, especially at night. Now that I am getting to know all the children around here, and they refer to jenny and I as auntie.... All the children that we are getting to know live in the a slum right behind our room. I would love to go back there, but I know it's going to completly break me. I can't even seem to take pictures of the poverty. It's too bad. Jenny and I are exhausted tonight. We worked witht the children from 10-7. They are so needy. They all seem to be COVERED in scabees, have huge bellies from malnutrition, lice, and scarf down food and water when we give it to them. I believe some of the children have actually "lost it" in their heads from their living conditions. I just found out that more people are dying from starvation in india then that live in Africa....if that puts it into perspective for you. I have yet to make it to mother theresas home yet, but hopefully wednesday. Jenny and I have made two friends, they actually go to auburn, WAR EAGLE, and we had dinner at their place last night. They are great, and are working at MT home. We also met a bunch of guys that have a ministry on the railway system. They said we could come along, but said it was really dangerous :) I can't wait. All the guys that started this outreach are pretty big guys so im not real worried. I need food and water so...keep us in your prayers. It's hard work, and a really hard sight to see.

Peace out!
