Our last days in Kolkata
Posted by: Team India on Thursday June 9, 2011 | filed under General
Monday, we were with the Jewelry Business ladies again. Victoria shared a devotion, and Hilary shared her testimony. Then Victoria taught English, as Adrianna and Melody helped sort and organize new stones that Monique had recently bought. In the afternoon we went to Mother Theresa House. We saw a bunch of nuns kneeling around her tomb praying. There were posters and memorabilia that explained her life and ministry. Later that day, Victoria fell and scraped her knee getting into a taxi, ruining 1 of 4 pairs of pants that were damaged during the trip.

VBS - our second week
Posted by: Team India on Tuesday May 31, 2011 | filed under General

In total it was probably about a day and a half of travel. Driving to the Shaws place, Hilary threw up in the car. Victoria cried in a restaurant during lunch ...

Update May 17th!
Posted by: Team India on Monday May 17, 2010 | filed under General
As I type this message I am sitting within 100 feet of the doors to the Missionaries of Charity Mother House, the home of Mother Teresa for much of her ministry, and the site of her tomb.
Visiting the other day it was interesting to reflect how one person could so completely follow Jesus, and be almost universally accepted and loved. At the same time it was bizarre struggling with the fact that she was just a person. There was something special about her certainly, but she was still just a person.
