Away . . .

For the past week I’ve been in Nasik with visitors from South Carolina. Nasik is 5 hours north of where we live. We have been very fortunate that it has not rained at all while our guests are here! Our translators have been such a great help as well. While I’ve been having a great experience with our visitors, meeting and talking with local people, Merrilea and the kids have been battling pink-eye, congestive illness and home school. Danielle came home from school with pink-eye two weeks ago and it’s been making its way through our family. Having called Merrilea today, things are looking better. Here are some of the team with our translators as we are about to enter into the community.
On the home front: Due to pollution problems, we’ve been searching for a different apartment. We are grateful to have found one just before I came to Nasik! It will even be closer to our friends here. If all goes well, we will move the last 2 weeks in November. We hope that the lease agreement negotiations go well. Before we move my schedule is pretty full: traveling to Bangalore for a training, to Goa for Danielle’s birthday on the 31st and then back to Bangalore for another training. After that I’ll be meeting with some local friends for a weeks’ long training back in Pune. ….Life goes on.
