Fond Memories of Year One...

Year One (last year), the people of India stole my heart but this year I have really seen the beauty of this country as well. Whenever I thought back on my time here, I remembered a scorching sun and heat that exhausts but, WOW, at this new site I have seen a different side of this country. On this mountain, it seems like cloud coverage is a promised blessing each day and the breeze is just as reliable. As we enjoy this beautiful camp together,  our bonds with the Indian counselors and campers have grown exponentially. Last year was all about forming new relationships and now those relationships are becoming lifelong friendships. As Anne of Green Gables would say (brainwashed by my girl friend I apologize) I have met some "kindred spirits" with a few of the Indian counselors and we have spent hours laughing together and talking about our lives that are amazingly similar on opposite sides of the globe. Thank you all back home for your prayers- we all have had the energy needed to give to the kids and our campers have been extremely open to deep talks, new lessons, and silly fun.

Much love,
Jacob R. (Mr. Worldwide)
