We ventured up to Bangalore last week to take a couple of the volunteers back and also got to spend Son(3) third birthday while up there. Our friends had made him a cake and made us a yummy mince and pasta meal. Sometimes it's nice to have a spice free meal, not that I don't like the Indian food but a change is nice occasionally.
While we were there DC got introduced to a guy from Kollegal and it turned out that his mother had grown up in the girls home as an orphan. That was pretty neat in itself but then he told us that a lady had done a thesis on the history of the home and that it was in the library. DC went and did some investigating and found the article. The thing that gave us goose bumps was that the first two lines described how the lady that founded the home was commissioned by George Muller himself. The significant thing is that George Muller and his biography had really impacted, inspired and encouraged us. It's like we could suddenly identify with the very beginnings of the home we are now in and understand the original intentions behind the founder. It was very exciting for us.

That is very cool.
