It was so great to be able to go to the Taj Mahal over the weekend. The actual grave of the queen that's buried there is only open 3 days out of the year, and one of them was Saturday! Also, for some reason, if we went after 2 pm, it was free to get in, which was such a blessing since it usually costs about 15 dollars. The car ride there was closer to 6 hours than the 2 I had originally thought, but it was great to be able to get closer to some of the team.

These kids are part of a ministry that helps kids living in the slums in Delhi. They are provided with a bath, meal, and education. More on this coming soon.

I know it's been far too long since I've written anything at all. So sorry. My laptop hasn't been working since before we left Thailand. Like, spinning-wheel-of-death, freeze-up-every-two-seconds, don't-let-Jill-do-anything kind of not working. It's absolutely horrible. I've been to the Apple store here a few times and upgraded my operating system and ram, but then they also said that my hard drive is failing and that they won't be able to fix that for me since the warranty is only good in America. So I'll be shipping it home to see if I can get a new one. On top of that, my camera just died. Completely died. This whole thing has been a nightmare and that's why there haven't been any posts. Please forgive me...

India has been so great. I'm working on creating a website for one of the YWAM bases here in Delhi, and it's been a huge project. There are so many aspects to their ministry and we're trying to simplify it all so that people will understand easily. But I'm really loving working on it and can't wait until it's all finished and beautiful. Check out the team blog for more information on what everybody else is working on. It's an exciting, busy time for us all.

As much as I'm loving it here, I'm missing home more than ever. Last weekend, I discovered that my sweet little nephew, Levi, passed away. The cord wrapped around his neck twice and he was killed at about 20 weeks. The Lord has been giving me and my family so much peace. He is always good and has a plan for everything that's happening. Thank you to everyone who has been praying for my whole family. You are more of a blessing than you will ever know. My sister's labor was short and relatively easy and she and her husband are dealing with it well. Please continue to keep them in your prayers. But even though the situation is really good, I'm so homesick. I want more than anything to just be with them. Skype just isn't cutting it right now. Still, the Lord is good and has a plan for my time here. I know he has called me to India for this time and will continue to show me why I'm here.

Thanks for your prayers. Sorry for the lack of pictures. Blame Apple. :)
