Wow Punjab is so much nicer than Delhi! it has less cows, less trash, less slums, less traffic, it was over all just nicer, and we got to stay in a hotel with AC, i haven't felt AC since Switzerland. We were so busy this week. We would wake up at 7 and not get back to the hotel until 12am. This week we did a lot of church services, where we do dramas, give testimony, and preach.... i have already given 3 sermons since i have been here, and i use to hate to speak in front of people! we did alot of prayer this week too... because all the churches we went too were new churches, and most of the members use to be other religions but now they are Christians.
One night i will not forget we were at this church( and when i say church it was just a 4 walled room with rugs on the ground) but there was this girl who was SO So very skinny, but then she had a huge belly. At the end of church i talked to her, and i never really found out what here problem was, some said it was a growth and another said it was cancer, ( she wasn't pregnant, it was a different kind of big belly) Anyways she was so beautiful and only17 and she was going to die. The doctors said there was no cure and besides they were poor. I just sat there holding her hand( the skinniest hand i have ever felt) with tears running down my face, i wish i could have given her something to smile about i wish i could make her life the best until she dies....but that is when i realize that i can do nothing by myself but only God can, because i had to let go of her hand and go back to the hotel, but i know God is still holding her hand.
The last day in Punjab we went to the Golden temple which was pretty cool! Then we went to the Pakistan border which was really cool!!there was so many people there! and on one side people were shouting INDIA INDIA! and then on the other.. PAKISTAN PAKISTAN! it was pretty crazy....
Up Next: One more week in Delhi, i'm actually not even sure what kind of ministry we are doing yet... Then it is off to Calcutta for 3 weeks and working in mother Teresa's home!
Life...

- Hey Thanks for reading my blog. This blog is my life as a Christ Follower. Here you will read about my experience at YWAM (youth with a mission) I was in Switzerland for 3 months, where I learned more about my faith and fell in love with Jesus Christ. Then I went to North India for 3 months, where we showed God’s love to the Indian people. Now my 6 month journey with YWAM is over… what now?? I keep going! God has giving me a heart for overseas missions, and I’m determined to follow that calling. My heart it for the poor, the broken, the homeless, the AIDS victims, the orphans... the people and children who feel unloved.. I want to love them with God’s love. Right now I’m back in Florida, trying to save up money for my next adventure following God: Africa… However being in Florida is an adventure in its self. Keep reading to find out why I’m so crazy in love with this man named Jesus and why I will stop for nothing to follow him. My E-mail is: Leslieann08@msn.com
