Elder Shyam Kumar Lohat and Elder Shibu Stephen are part of our YSA group and are now in the mission field. They are the first of our YSA group to go.

We still remember and look forward to another visit to the Taj Mahal. So much of India is blowing dust, the poverty of so many of the people, and garbage and litter everywhere. Yet there is beauty if you seek it out.

It is good to feel better this week. I had a very high fever and when I passed out trying to answer the phone, I hurt my hip, neck and head. All seems to be fine again for me, just trying to get my strength back. Dad has something going on with his jaw/neck. I have tried to take a picture of it. Colette got us in touch with Spencer, and we both are on antibiotics. Dad's lump has gone down since he started on antibiotics. Here is what it looks like today. I was too sick to take a picture of it last week before he started on meds.
