the Davids and their lovely ladies

today i'd like to tell you about the wonderful australians i've met. they are four siblings and a sibling-in-law, three of them born in Kolkata, all raised in Australia. so i guess they aren't really australians. hmmm. anyhow, Jean, David, Karen, Holly and Holly's David are all here for a cousins wedding. big stuff if you know anything about Indians and their marriage celebrations. their family here has created a very tight itinerary for them (and when i say "tight" i mean packed, not cool. haha) but they insisted their mornings be free for volunteering. they work at Daya Dan like me and being that they have family here they have a driver. so they ask me if i'd like to ride with them. not always but when they do i know it is God's provision. It saves me about 8 or 9 rupees. i'm incredibly grateful for them and how God has placed them in my path. not just because of the rides but they love Jesus and it shows. Jean is an RN but is now working on the management side of Healthcare. David is a firefighter. Holly is Crime Scen investigator in London and her David is in some sort of Ecenomics related field. i think he used to be in the oil trade. not that any of that is important.
its strange to fall in love with people after knowing them only a short while, but i i do love them. they've shown me a side of God that is beautiful and good and i love seeing it as we do laundry or feed the children and even in the car rides.
Our Father is so faithful, even in this His goodness is evident and good thing cause i need it more than ever right now.

love you friends!
ciao
