Pali Autograph Session


I just realized I haven't introduced the folks travelling with me. It was just three of us. Dr. Ed Smith (the president of Faith Christian School in Grapevine) and Jon Brooks (the campus pastor) and myself braved the trip together primarily to scout out the locations and sites for our trip in March with about 20 students.

Thursday 11:00am – We headed out to Pali (about two hours from Jodhpur) to visit another Emmanuel School and orphanage. While we were there, it was lunch time, and we got mobbed by all the students wanting autographs from the Americans. I must have shook over 300 hands. Pictured above is Jon getting mobbed.

I'm sure the kids were very excited to see Americans and I think it is AWESOME that you were able to spread Jesus' love to children who need it so very much!

I love seeing this picture of Mr. Brooks. It is absolutely hilarious. It is really cool to see how the kids react to outside people, and how much of a difference we can really make.

I love this picture of Mr. Brooks with all the kids just having fun. Even though he is a goober head, he sure does have the heart to teach othere people around this world about Jesus Christ. This picture totally reminds me when I went on a mission trip and all the kids just couldnt stop hanging on to you. Well I am so glad that you had fun and I hope someday I will get to go to India.

That is so cool. You go to some where else wanting to make an impact and they impact you. Mr.Brooks looks so funny.
