At Frankfurt Airport


As we are waiting to board the final leg of this incredible journey, we would like to share with you a few final thoughts and laughs that will always bond our group-- -always knowing when the shot ladies have begun the inoculations because the screaming begins -the introduction of Sister Sue and Sister Sue who always seemed to sit next to each other for introductions so Pastor Paradise called them Double Sue -when Sue Yoch was no where to be found you just looked for where the children had gathered -the men took longer to choose the material for their shirts and pants than the women did for their chuttidahs -chicken for every lunch & dinner -children screaming when they saw a white woman then you knew they had received a shot already -Sam knew how to fix John's watch such as turn OFF the alarm and set all the functions so John gave it to him -the man in red at the Kolladam camp who was the clinic caretaker gave Jay a scoop of water from the bucket (not so clean!!!) to rinse a patient's mouth -Jill's overflow moment after listening to the stories at the HIV/AIDS clinic -the GP (husband of the gyn doctor) thought Helen was 70 years old because she dyed her hair blond-excuse me, it's gray!!

-watching the eyes of the newbies on the first two days when driving in the van -the competitiveness of Diane & Vicky in the lion & goat game -the men had something thumping above their ceiling tiles and Henry said,"oh yes Brother, it is a squirrel.". The next morning they told Praveen about the thumping and he said, "oh yes Brother, it is a rat!"

-Joy told Vicky that she had small hair

-Steph and her counting of mosquito bites-71 -Sue Werner's personal eye appt with the hospital eye doctor --and last but not least, Sagar shared with us that there is a God called Murgan-the God of stink!


We will be home soon!!=
