It's my third day back in the office after our trip and since Erin is sitting here uploading our photos and videos, it reminded me that I never updated the blog that we made it back - sorry! We made it back to the USA (blessedly) on Friday, March 19 around 10:30 a.m. I cannot tell you how great it felt to be back in the country, especially after I had gotten pretty sick the last few days we were there. The newfound appreciation for all things America -- from our Constitution to religious liberty to bathrooms and trash cans and breathable air to everything in between (including a variety of food). The culture is an overwhelming world of difference between here and India -- I don't think I can even put it to words. But there are hundreds and hundreds of photos to sort through (I took over a thousand the day we went through all the villages in Kandhamal alone), and I have a happy save-the-date announcement as of today that I will post shortly.
More reflective thoughts to come later. In the meantime, thank you, thank you, thank you for all the prayers while we were gone. They were definitely heard! The Lord protected us and brought us home safely.
"The eyes of the LORD are everywhere." ~Prov. 15:3
