Today was an eventful day, Katie and I woke up at the crack of dawn (or the call to prayer) to go to mass at the Mother House at 6am. After, we all had breakfast, sang the songs and were on our way to our houses. A couple people stayed home, but they're on the way to recovery.

At Shishu Bahvan we got to cut up these new fruits, which I forget the name, but they are prickley on the outside, and look like a grape with a huge pit on the inside. We also got to work on our favorite art project for the Sisters.

In the afternoon we got to go to Kalighat, which was a whole different experience than Shishu Bahvan. We were thrown into a room full of sick, dying women, and it was a great experience, that I feel is really hard to describe. The women are all so thin and very weak, but our love and presence brought a smile to their faces. A few of us got over our feet fears, and massaged some feet.

It's so hard to describe the scenery here, and I think we could all agree that you have to just see it. The smells, the sounds, the heat, the tastes, the happiness in the poverty and despair, the trust, the faith. Everything is just so beautiful.

I hope all is well, Congrats Heidi!!! That's so exciting. Love and miss you all!!
