Last Day in Coimbatore

---

Hey everyone, today is our last day and we are having dinner at Felix and Smiley's house. First, let me apologize about the lack of internet access for the last few days. It has been extremely discouraging at the hotel not being able to communicate with you all. It's going so well and the relationships are flourishing!!! I want to get out of the way so the other team members can share their experiences. Love you all!!!!

To my church family in toledo! We have been having difficulties with the computer at the hotel, so that is why you have not heard from us. Thanks to Rob, Shari, and Brett for writing. If someone else from Toledo wrote, I have not read any other messages yet. Today I went to visit a woman at her job who stopped coming to church. Have you ever heard of a Christian visiting someone who fell away from the church at their job? There is so much more I want to share, but I am running out of time. We are off to another meeting.
Love Ya' all, Cindy "traveling through India and lovin' the Jesus" Lou Who?!

I had been checking the site to see if you had written and hadn't seen anything by anyone. Started to get worried. Glad to hear just some techno difficulties. I wanted to tell you that your dad really liked your fathers day card! Those are the things he likes most, and of course cookies always work too! He is a simple guy with few wants but has ALOT of love in his heart for you and all his family. Continue all your good work we look forward to hearing more. I check daily if not 3-4 times daily! Have fun and God bless you, Kim

Hey, Cindy! I am so encouraged to hear from you and know that you are making an impact on the other side of the world. I will put together a list of job places for you to visit when you get home to encourage women to return to God. It is inspiring to know the lengths the disciples in India go to to fight for the lost. I hope you are truly enjoying your trip. We pray for you daily and look forward to hearing all about it when you get back home. Much love, Karin

I'm so proud of you all
Wow, I'm so encouraged by how God is using each one of you in special ways. How exciting, that God chose you to make a special impact on our brothers and sisters in India. I can't wait to hear more inspirational stories of how God is using you to love, and serve everyone there. Keep up the good work, make the most of every opportunity. Autumn I pray your keeping a journal of this amazing trip. It will be so inspiring for everyone back here. It wonderful how God is helping you to appreciate him, your brothers and sisters, the kingdom, and all he does for you even more. A real life, pay it forward opportunity. Autumn,I love you so much . I'm so proud of your sacrifice and your heart. You are a true disciple, and I am grateful God chose me to be your mom. Amber called today. I only got to talk to her for a minute before we got disconnected, but she's enjoying China. She says school there is even harder than here. Please keep praying for her too. This is getting long so I'll go for now. I love you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love, Mom XXOO

Miles for Missions
I just totaled up the miles walked for the first two weeks, 150 miles for week one and 233 miles for week two = 383 miles. Hopefully some others from Lansing will write - but I know that several are following your activities. Have a safe trip to Cochi...Can't find my journal with all my names, but say hi to everyone for me. By listening to all your experiences, I am re-living one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Thank you to the team for sharing. Thank you to the Indian Brothers and Sisters for continuing to serve and modelling a true conviction of disciples making disciples. Damon, I too went to the government hospital, as a nurse it was unbelievable. Your story tears at my heart one more time about how women are treated. Hopefully in Cochi you will be able to see the home for the elderly women run by HOPE...they are some incredible women. Enjoy your trip...many prayers for everyone.

Hello Mission India!
Hi Autumn! Mom and I have sent three messages so far and we're wondering if you've received them. We pray that your travels are protected by God and that you spread God's love everywhere. Coach wants you to start doing sit-ups and push-ups while you're there. When are you going to camp. We need to set up a ride. We love you! Mom and Tony xoxo
