More news.

JoDee called me last night to give me the most recent update. Everything is still going great. The only one who has gotten sick is the doctor...who is much better now. The orphanages are amazing, and the kids love being around all of the little Indian kids. Today they are going to each orphanage to sing for the kids, and do their cultural assembly, since the orphans wont all be able to come to the village for the big cultural night. My mom said that our kids were all given Hindi scarves and hats, and they wore them to temple they went to visit. There were tons of village kids following our kids and when they got to the temple they asked our kids to sing for them. It was a temple so they felt they should sing something more spiritual...they sang "a Child's Prayer" in harmony, and my mother said that everyone wept through the whole thing.

I guess there was a cricket match they participated in as well. At one orphanages that just has all boys, they found out our kids were going to play cricket...they asked if we could bring them back a ball. Greg Davis said no, but we'll be back to play something else with you. Then Greg took his kids (Jeni, Sarahjane, Michael, and some one else...sorry I can't remember) and bought cricket balls and bats to take back to their orphanage. They made the boys line up against the wall and close their eyes. Then they brought out the cricket equipment...the orphans freaked out and Greg Davis said it was the best day of his life.

At Jenny Hale's orphanage they work with some destitute girls, and the girls decided to dress Jenny, Jodi and Megan Morgan up like Hindi women, they braided their hair and did their make up, complete with nose rings.

I was able to speak with Hillary and Megan Morgan on the phone, and they both say they are having an amazing time. I asked Hillary if she was glad I made her go. She just laughed and said...duh! I think that means she is having a good time.
