Confession: This may be the most delayed update I have ever done on this blog. Little Man, new job, temporary single mom status and the start of camp have put me significantly on personal things like haircuts, grocery shopping (who needs fruit in the house, right?) and blogging.
This past March, Jay and I returned to India. Before we left, we knew it was going to be an entirely different trip from last year. We didn't really know the team we were traveling with (we met some of them once before we went) and we were being sent by
Granger Community Church with a mission separate from the rest of the team.
We were asked to focus on children's programming and, since this was a construction team, we were given freedom to step away from the group and focus on the children.
The team was sent to a new village, nick-named "Koti", is just outside of Vellavedu in Tamil Nadu, India. We were the first team sent there and I am pretty sure they didn't know what to do with us considering many of our kid's min methods are seen as unique even in the States. Here are some photos as a quick overview of the trip:
 |
| 5 are meant to go in a 2 seat rickshaw . . . |
 |
| We always had a crowd watching us, no matter what we were doing |
 |
| Deconstructing a house |
 |
| Love when children ham it up for the camera |
 |
| Reunited after a year! |
 |
| There is a story behind this photo, but the panic in my eyes was very real. (Note: Jay was about 50 ft. away at this point joyfully covered in sewer water.) |
 |
| After school children's ministry |
 |
| Planning for each day under the mosquito net the thatched roof hut - just another typical day for the Taylors. |
