We're ok! We live 3-4 hours outside Mumbai and the situation has not directly effected us at all. John Deere called us in for a meeting and explained what level of emergency we were at (level 1 by the way). They are continuing to monitor the situation (which apparently is still going on), and if necessary, they will take additional action with us -- having us stay home, locking us down, moving us to a safe place in India, or even flying us out of India. It's nice to have an emergency plan to use.

We even packed our emergency bags, with our 72 hour kit information and clothes and toothbrushes. We are ready!

We were planning to have Thanksgiving dinner at the big fancy 5 star hotel last night, but we decided that was a BAD idea. We quickly went to plan B and had it here at our house. We had 9 and it was a delicious meal. We also got a service project in. My friend helps with a christian children's ministry and we wrapped 150 Christmas gifts for the kids. We had a nice evening.

Like I said, we're doing fine. Thank you for your prayers and your concern. We have truly felt them and know we have been watched over and protected.
