Well, it's our last night in Kolkata.  I wanted to post just a couple of pics from the last 2 days before we head home.  Once there, I will try to compile all of our India pics into a slide show to post here on our blog.  

On Saturday night, we heard all this commotion out our hotel window.  We looked outside to see literally thousands of people walking down the streets in front of the hotel.  We weren't too worried, we have seen protests going on everywhere in India since we have been here.  We noticed, however, that they were wearing lots of red and gold and carrying flags.  We found out that the #1 and #2 Bengali soccer teams were playing in the stadium above, right behind our hotel.  It was an amazing sight.  David wanted to buy a ticket and head right over, but the hotel staff we have befriended here said David, "might not quite fit in." :)  The haze in the picture is a constant in India...it is the heat and the pollution in the air I guess.

On Sunday, we were able to spend the day resting outside by the pool (above pic of me with Micah) and in our room.  We just rejoiced over what the Lord has done and how far He has brought us.  It still does not seem real.  Maybe when we get home and settled back into our daily routine, everything will hit home for us.

Today, we made a visit to the East India Compassion Office.  It was an awesome experience.  The Lord just worked out all the details.  The director "just happened" to walk into the entrance as we arrived...he said he was not sure why he did but he just felt he should. :)  He showed us around their offices and invited us to share lunch with their staff.  For all those who want to know...we ate authentic Indian food and it was spicy and delicious!  We didn't get sick either. :)  We were also able to meet a team from the main headquarters in Colorado Springs who were there leading a training session.  It was so fun!

To finish the day we stopped by an outdoor mall near the hotel to purchase some little trinkets for our kiddos back home.   Now, we will head to supper, repack all our stuff, make sure we have all the paperwork for immigration and get some sleep for a very long 2 day trip home.  To quote David's dad, "this is a trip that will change our lives."
