We are planning on going to the city this weekend with our other new friend Danielle...there are 2 danielles now! She is from Austrailia and has been in India for 2 months now, so she makes up for the confidence that we seem to be lacking right now. It has been great being able to hear her stories.. she plans on staying for a total of 4 months so that makes our time look shorter! Not that we are counting the days already;) She is pretty adventurous and talked about wanting us to go on a guided tiger hunt with her. We considered it, thinking it might be fun...then she reasurringly told us that only like, 30 people get eaten by the tigers every year. I think that india is enough of an adventure. Our parents have enough to worry about without the threat of us becoming tiger food. ;)Every day is getting easier and we are getting more and more used to the culture. I am excited to see what this weekend in the city will bring. We are all looking forward to it, hoping to get some air conditioned rest (bridget;), and maybe a little shopping and indian treats. Thanks for all the support so far, we cant tell you how much we look forward to coming to the internet cafe to read your comments! A little taste of home goes a long ways... again, keep us in your thoughts and prayers, as our story is far from over!!!

Haffey I am so proud of you and the other girls. I remember drawing strength from the other people that I met, they are there for a reason whether you realize it or not right now! Some of the most influencial people that I met were from my trip to St. Lucia-afterall that is when and where I decided to become a nurse, and I would not have crossed paths with you amazing ladies if I would have not gone on my St. Lucian adventure.
I am glad that you are passing on the tiger adventure...it would be one thing to go tiger "viewing" but the fact that they do eat or at least nibble on people is a bit too much for me!
Just remember that life in America is not changing too much, but you are changing all for the better while being in India...try to look for the beauty in everything, which will make your days so much more rewarding and fulfilling!
Again-you ladies are all amazing and I envy you! I would be there in a heartbeat if I wasnt carrying the next little Drew inside of me...oh yeah by the way IT'S A BOY! I saw his little member yesterday in an ultrasound=totally amazing to see your own baby for the first time! He's a mover and a shaker, I just started to feel him move a few days ago.
Lots of love to you all
The Hektoens (guess I cant say Macy anymore...anyone have any good boy names...I am stumped)!
