Hi Everyone --

The good news: The jet lag is over! After 2 weeks, we are sleeping all through the night, staying awake all day, and we're over the stomach aches and Delhi belly! It's so good to be home!

It started raining a bit more with the monsoon this week. We are still on water rationing, and the reservoirs are not full, but every little bit helps. It seems to rain in the night, clear up when we go for our walk between 7-8 a.m., rain again in the afternoon and evening. Sometimes it is a very hard, straight down rain, other times just light showers. We figure there has been plenty of rain if the road is wet -- that means that the rain made it through the thick tree cover over the road.

Yesterday, when Doug was at work, I heard a big crash. I looked around in the basement and in the living area, but found nothing. Then I went up to bed, not thinking anything of it. My feet kept crunching on dirt and junk in the bathroom, so I put my glasses back on, and there was the problem! We had put a tarp over the skylight in the bathroom to keep it from leaking on us, and used a couple of big rocks to hold the tarp down. Well, the rocks fell off the ledge about 4-5 feet down and crashed through the windows. Luckily the windows had wire in them, or there would have been 2 big rocks on the toilet too. We will have to get that fixed this week -- we'll see how many days it takes. I would think it would be especially important in the monsoon season, but that's just me. Hannah doesn't think it will get done before we leave India (what a skeptic!)

We had good church today. We had an old friend show up -- Dwight Stephenson. He was here in Pune on business and called Doug. We had a good time looking at family pictures and catching up on where and what the kids were doing. Total church attendance: 6.

I guess that's all for this week!
We love you and miss you all!
Love, Lucinda
