Day 8

Well, we are on the home stretch. Each day seems like new goals are accomplished and "interesting" things happen. The big event of the day was that we took a flight from Pune to Delhi. We also have finally retrieved our bag we lost on the flight over here. Everything seems to be in order. The flight was nice -- except Maya decided to like to go to the bathroom every 15 minutes. Now we know why the agency gave them milk or water after a meal and not too much in between. Maya did take a good nap on the plane. On the way from the airport we stopped by one of the recommended doctors for the required exam. We were done in 10 minutes. The will now write a report which we will get tomorrow around lunch time - then off to the embassy.
Once we got to the hotel (at about 6:00 pm) we gave Maya the new dresses and clothes, she was thrilled to say the least, especially with her new hair clips and white shoes. We also went upstairs to eat. Maya tried to talk to everyone she saw, but in Delhi they speak Hindi, but Maya speaks Marathi - which we found are very very different languages. We are all ready for bed now b/c we get to go to the US Embassy to process her Visa. We will put up some pictures tomorrow.

I almost forgot, we will also have her musical debut - singing "Ba ba Black Sheep" or some rendition there of.

PS - Just wait till you get to hear "Mary had a little man"

HI- Well, Ronda- AS I see it, on the trip home, Maya may make 60 trips to the bathroom. Have a good time. HA!!!!!So glad things aRE GOING WELL. God sure smooths everything out. G and I were listening to Selah at noon- the song came on:You Raise Me Up. Think those words are true for you as you look to God and also Maya as she now looks to you two for her guidance. I am strong when I am on your shoulders- And she sure looked happy and strong and brave-on Dan's shoulders. The video was awesome- we have played it often. Keep marching on- secure in His love.
Love
Mom

You are on the last legs of this journey now. It must be a good feeling to know that you are almost home. And Maya will know what a home is for the first time. Glad you finally caught up to your suitcase, and it sounds like Maya is like every little girl I know - "NEW CLOTHES? These pale folks can't be all bad." I am off for a nap myself now. Much love and many prayers to you all.

Love,

Auntie L.
