Here in India, there's a monsoon season and a dry season. Right now, it's supposed to be the dry season. However, it has been raining since yesterday morning!!! Not only is it raining, but it's 68 degrees!!! I find it a tad bit on the cold side.
The cause of the rain is a cyclone, which is hitting a city that is east of us. The city that the parents of Bobby Jindal, the governor of Louisiana, are originally from. For all you people in south Louisiana, a cyclone is like a hurricane.
For an abrupt change of subject, last night, my parents and I went into the home of some friends. Every Wednesday night, they have a bunch of street kids come in for a children's church service. Also, these friends of ours feed the children, who are all dirt poor and living in extreme poverty.Those kids were so sweet. I think it's amazing how these kids have next to nothing and are still so happy.
On Sunday, my family and I went to the movie theater and watched Skyfall. Over here, they cut out almost every bad part. Also, in the middle of the movie, they add in an intermission. The good thing is, you don't have to miss any of the movie if you need to use the restroom or need some kind of snack. Unfortunately, there is a bad thing about this. They paused the movie in the middle of a sentence.
We started language last week. We are learning Kannada and, thankfully, it isn't nearly as difficult as Thai was. Our language teacher is a Christian, and her husband leads 5 house churches!! Talk about a lot of preaching.
Well, that's all for this time,
