Hey guys! It's Caroline Kay Thornton here. For those who don't know me, I am one of the seven tenth graders here on TEAM India. Let me tell you what a joy it has been to be in this amazing country! I have never left the United States, so to say the least, it is a HUGE culture shock. We've seen the best and worst of India while traveling through this country. Some of the things we've experienced have challenged us spiritually and drained us emotionally. Things from dead pigs in the streets, the stench of human waste, and the desperation and chaotic actions of people striving to earn money. I can't wait to see how God will continue to use us to bless these people and glorify His name!
Today, we played with the kids at the Emmanuel Mission School. Some of the games we played included red rover, outdoor soccer, racing with the kids, and ice and water. I learned today that "ice and water"is equivalent to the American game freeze tag. The inspectors of the public schools came today, so all the students showed us their science projects, and we assisted them on presenting the projects to the inspectors.
This has been a chance of a lifetime to get to come and see this beautiful country. I have experienced a roller coaster of emotions, but it has been incredible! God is working in and through us giving us the strength we need. I know the team would agree with me when I say, "God is good," and we are so happy to be here doing work for His glory.
1 Peter 4:16b
Praise God for the privilege of being called by his name!
