Farewell

I wish I had some pictures to add to this post, but they are all on Brenda's camera. You would simply not believe the outpouring of love from the villages at the final meeting. We were literally buried in garlands of jasmine, marigolds, and roses. We all got to say a few words to the crowd of about 500. As usual, it was a very emotional time with lots of final prayers, tears, and hugs. I am always overcome by how fast you can become attached to people who live in a different world, and speak a different language! Our mission in India is over for another year , but the memories will last forever.
