I know I probably won't blog everyday, but I also don't know what God has in store for me here, so it might be worth it!

Before I went to bed, my dad had warned me that at 5am the Muslims and Hindus will begin their worship and it will probably wake me up. So when I woke up this morning to a song that sounded like it was in my bedroom, I assumed it was either the Muslims or Hindus. That was until I head the words "shine Jesus shine". It was the dang Christians! There's a Catholic school right outside my dad's apartment. My dad told us to come look. It was amazing. Hundreds of young girls lined up, facing our balcony, beautifully singing "Shine Jesus Shine". The most incredible part of it all is that "Shine Jesus Shine" was my grandpa's favourite song, and it always makes me think of him. He's part of the reason I'm in India. All my grandparent's were missionaries in India, and now I have the opportunity to follow in their footsteps.

Sam and I went back to bed until 1pm, at which point we forced ourselves to get up. My dad's little helper friend, Tege (I need to get the proper spelling), made us some delicious Indian lunch. It tasted amazing, but my stomach hated it. After going for a short walk with Sam and my dad, we had to get a rickshaw back home, and I slept the day away. I'm feeling better now, but I have to watch what I eat.

We're looking at apartments for Sam and I tomorrow. Something a little closer to where we'll be volunteering, because we start Monday. I am so excited for that.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to see more of Bangalore tomorrow. So far it's been traffic, temples and stray dogs!
