We have had some exciting changes take place over the last month, and, of course, it is time to post about it on our blog! Molly and I have had an opportunity to return to India, and we have recently decided to go back for 1 year. Let me tell you how it happened. As those of you who keep up with our blog know, we have been looking for new jobs and both recently found opportunities in our respective fields. However, we found more than we bargained for as we became aware of a need at a children's home in Bangalore, India. We have visited this particular children's home last time we were in India and were so touched when we were there that we have always dreamed of returning at some point. Tammy, the American woman who runs the home, posted on her blog about a need for a young American couple with a heart for kids to come and join their family for a years time. There was a married couple who has been with her for a couple of years that has just returned to the States, so she has been in need of help. How could we say no? We have recently finalized some of the details and are really excited about it. We will be leaving in January for one year and will be working at the children's home and acting as substitute house parents. We are very excited about this chance to return to India and feel very blessed to return to this particular home that we were so fond of! This opportunity fell into our laps relatively quickly, but it is something that we feel that the Lord has been preparing our hearts for for a long time. We have a lot to do before we leave. We have just recently put our house up on the market so keep us in your prayers that things move along with that quickly. Here are a few pictures of the home in India that we will be going to. We will try to fill in some more details about our trip as things progress.
