jaipur. jai ho!

jaipur is such a cool city. the old part of the city is all painted PINK! they painted it back in the day as a sign of hospitality, and it still remains a dusty pink-ish color. pretty cool. so jaipur is in a desert, in the state of rhajasthan. just know that desert = CAMELS. y'all. like walking down the street in the middle of the road. so we're talking monkeys, camels, cows, horses, donkeys, elephants....not like at the zoo, but in the midst of everyday life.....what?!? this place is so unreal. i LOVE it.

dr. stroope has a friend here who loves on hindus in this city. it's been cool to get to know him and his team. they're doing a good thing. they have to be super careful with their cover, so i can't write much, but pray for them. if i were in their shoes, it would be so easy to be overwhelmed and feel so unbelievably hopeless....but they have such great faith. it's inspiring.

walked through the city this morning praying and reading scripture. talk about powerful. it was an incredible experience. so much going on here....so many people, so much life and energy. this place is so unique.

tonight we're going to the choki danni cultural center--lots of music, dancing, acrobats, elephants, food, etc. it's going to be AWESOME.

remember how i'm in INDIA?! it blows my mind every single day. pray that i'll make the most of every opportunity and take advantage of my time here.

headed to calcutta tomorrow morning. to walk and serve where mother teresa walked and served will be a dream come true. can't wait to write about it.
