Though there is much to write about, I don't know what to write this week. So instead of a normal blog, I'm posting my favorite pictures and memories from my time here in India. I took most of these with my phone, so the quality isn't that great, but these picture mean a lot to me.
There is no particular order or chronology, but I hope you enjoy this visual glimpse into my life in India!
 |
| On the way to the HIV hospital in Andhra Pradesh. |
 |
| The road of a poor, rural village in Andhra |
 |
| Villagers managing their cows |
 |
| I don't usually take selfies... but there were three of us on a motorcycle, riding through a village underneath Indian mountains... I had to. |
 |
| A month ago, I had the amazing opportunity to spend a day with 140 HIV positive children. I'll never forget them. |
 |
| One of the children made this for me. They had such joy in that place. |
 |
| On the way to play games! |
 |
| Back at LBC. This is the staircase to the water tower. |
 |
| Can you spot the crazy, white guy? ;) |
 |
| These are the houses of Chennai |
 |
| Just a normal day in Chennai... A man, his son, and a plant. |
 |
| A family waiting at the Chennai City Bus Station |
 |
| The Mountains of Andhra |
 |
| Making our way through the city |
 |
| My favorite way to get around Chennai, Auto-Rickshaws! These things are everywhere and they're hilarious. |
 |
| Indian Independence Day! We all went to a nearby amusement park and it was packed! |
 |
| Me and Freddy, starting the day off at the Amusement Park |
 |
| Waiting in line to ride... |
 |
| Saroj, thinking of something important, I'm sure. ;) |
 |
| It is technically not legal to have this many people on a motorcycle, but it happens all of the time. I saw a family of five on one once. |
 |
| Jesse, playing football in the rain! |
 |
 |
 |
| Rex, one of the teachers, throwing the ball in the air. |
 |
 |
| Look at these puddles! |
 |
| Renjith didn't want to play in the rain at first, but we convinced him. :) |
 |
| Playing football in a lake is hard... |
 |
| Benjith, serving as the faithful goalie |
 |
| Rejith on the right, Jesse in the middle, and you know me. |
 |
| Celebration on the lake/field/thing! |
 |
 |
| Heading out from LBC to do weekend ministry |
 |
| Umbrellas are useful for more than just rain. It was HOT that day! |
 |
| On the road to our church, Christian Fellowship |
 |
| Almost everyday after classes, we play volleyball. It's pretty great. |
 |
| It gets serious |
 |
 |
| The water tower |
 |
| I saw this man at the Ganges River in Varanasi. He seemed sad. |
 |
| I thought this was pretty. I like pretty things. :) |
 |
| Bishal and Sashi chopping up some pork for momos! |
 |
| We made momos for the whole college. We were working from 3:30-9:00pm. It was a great day. |
 |
| Momos are like dumplings... I think. They're Chinese anyway. |
 |
| Stoking the fire for the momos |
 |
| This thing is awesome. You make soup in the bottom and the steam cooks the momos on top. Mmm... soup. |
 |
| South Indian coffee is famous and delicious. |
