Home from the Village (again)

Just talked to Kirra. We hadn't had any contact since last Sunday since she was in the village for the week. She just loved it! Sounds like they got to do alot, and she described several times she got to just sit for an hour and talk with someone. I asked how they communicate since many of them speak little to no English. She said they use small words, jestures and that most of them love the fact that they are spending time with them more than the talking anyways! She called this morning (the house she is staying at has a plan so they can call for 6 cents a minute but it's not usually a very good connection and I spend most of the time trying to figure out what she just told me :), but it feels so good just to hear her voice). She wanted me to blog and just tell everyone that she will post as soon as they get internet as it's been out for a while. So if you have sent her an e-mail she hasn't gotten on in over a week, she is not ignoring you.
She told me she is READING A BOOK! That might be the biggest change that happened on this trip (jk). But if you knew how much Kirra HATED to read, you would be as happy as I am. She is reading "3 Cups of Tea". They read it in school but it was the shorter version. At the time, I don't think she had any idea she would be spending a summer in India and going into schools and villages so I'm sure she is reading it with a whole new understanding now.
So YAH!
Thats all for now. Kirra promised she would go on and blog when they get internet and try and send me pictures. Can't tell you how excited I am to see her and hear about her trip!
Love Pam
