We have a really amazing team of dedicated followers of Christ working to see Light push back darkness in the Buddhist world. Two of our teammates are getting ready to return to America in a few weeks. We all really wanted to take some time and get away from our daily lives here and just spend some time relaxing and fellowshipping with one another. So, we went on a retreat to Jaipur, India. Although traveling in India isn't the most relaxing experience, it was completely worth it once we got there. Jaipur was amazing. The culture and history there are incredible. However, much more than that, the fellowship we had as a team was indescribably wonderful! We had a chance to hear from one another's hearts and see what God had been teaching us. God certainly renewed and refreshed our spirits while we were there. I learned a great deal about my teammates and the passion God has given them for the lost. We are so blessed to serve alongside such an amazing group of sons and daughters of the most High God. Their reward will be great!
Here are some pictures from our retreat.
Our "guide" at one of the forts wanted to take a picture of our family in a mirror. While he was doing that, Brittany took our picture from the side. Obviously Caleb was more interested in her than the guide.
Brittany and I were posing like some of the tourists there. The ladies were taking some pictures with some pretty interesting poses.
Once again, our team felt the need to act like a big group of Korean tourists and take a picture while jumping in front of the fort!
We rode camels down the street of Jaipur on the way to the fort. I was so grateful we decided to do that instead of an all night desert ride....camels are NOT comfortable!
Caleb had just woken up and wasn't really sure what to think of the whole experience. He never did seem to care one way or another about the camel. Which is funny because he loves animals!
Caleb wants to be like Chuck when he grows up. He decided to get a head start by rocking his white sunglasses!
We spent over an hour in a store filled with pottery. Fortunately Caleb was napping during this outing. But the guys were scared enough about breaking things without Caleb running around.
Chuck relaxing on a bench waiting on us to finish touring the fort. He kind of blends into the wall with his amazingly cool sunglasses.
We couldn't get Caleb to stand by these guys on his own so Jared had to go with him. They really wanted their picture taken with the white boy though!
