Life in Chennai
We arrived in Chennai on May 20th, 2006 - the hottest day of the year, according to locals - and left for Bangalore on January 26th, 2007. During our brief 8 months we made some great friends, learned a lot about Indian culture, built up our immune systems (ie: caught a lot of stomach bugs plus a mosquito-borne illness called chikungunya!), endured some wickedly hot days, ate amazing new foods, felt homesick a lot, learned how to cook and live "from scratch," and generally rode the culture shock wave as best we could. The prayers of our friends and family were very evident to us during these first months in India and God used them mightily...we can't thank each of you enough for your faithful support.

How fun to read your first post from India! Even if you haven't blogged in a while, I still enjoy looking in on your life over the past few years. Helps me see what life in India is like for you. I teared up when I read the post about your youngest son's birth. All of your children are beautiful! That's one good-looking family you have.
