Today has been a really good day. This morning we went out to a colony about 30 minutes away and were able to see about 30 patients. Because this colony is closer, Rising Star goes out there pretty often and we don't see all of the people every time. Again, it was a really neat experience. Then we spent some time here on campus.
We planted some new trees close to the meditation room (more photos of the campus are coming I swear) and some banana trees next to the sewage treatment plant. It was a really good opportunity to get out and do some hard labor, despite the fact it was probably in the upper 90's all day (and it was actually pretty cool compared to most days here). Also, I think the Indian workers think that us Americans are pretty soft and had us do all the easy stuff. It was a good project though and it'll only help this campus get even prettier. But we finished that and then just chilled the rest of the day, ate dinner, and now I'm finishing up my day blogging.
Some of the photos are from today and most are from our trip two days ago. Shane Maryott, my roommate, Indian expert, and photography guru has done an awesome job capturing really beautiful pictures of the people and some really cool moments we've had. So all of the good ones are his, and I will give him credit for each one because they're really incredible. Hope you enjoy!
