.sari.sunday.

Something that I love about India is the beautiful clothing that the women wear. Most of them have stuck to the traditional saris and churidars and let me tell ya...they are all so beautiful! The girls in the group have all bought some saris and churidars. We all wore them to church one day and got some pictures taken after. Too bad women in America don't wear this kind of clothing because it is soooo comfortable!


I seriously love these girls so much!








.english.classes.

Our HELP team had an opportunity to teach English to the members of the LDS stake over here. Although this was a very, very...VERY stressful project, I found it to be very rewarding. I loved sitting with the members as they listened to the teacher. I also had an opportunity to teach for a little bit. This was really different for me since I am used to teaching children. As soon as someone would grasp the concept that we were teaching them, their faces would light up and they would get the biggest smile on their faces. This was so rewarding for me. The vision of success. I have learned that English is NOT an easy language to learn. The members here are so eager to learn and their dedication is incredible. I learned more from them than they learned from me. Like I said...this project was very stressful and unorganized, but we were able to pull through and get everything done.



.dancing.in.india.

There are a lot of things I miss over here in India. Dancing is one of them. When we went to Gloconda Fort, Jenny and I were walking around taking pictures. "Annie...go over there and do a dance move or something. I'll take a picture." I don't think anyone realizes how stoked I was to do this. It was just a kick and a jump, but boy it felt so good to "dance" again.
