Siliguri, West Bengal/Nepal

Singing songs with the kids at a school we visited in West Bengal on our way to Nepal. Ray used to teach the guy who runs the school now. We sang "My God is so big" for those of you who don't know this song it goes...My God is so big so strong and so mighty there's nothing my God cannot do. So for the actions to so strong I decided to have fun with them and did like a really exaggerated muscleman pose and the kids all loved it, they were laughing so hard it was pretty cute :) and then they were trying to do it after and it was just adorable and really funny.

Hello there,

Well it's been awhile I guess. We went to Siliguri, West Bengal and Nepal (for about an hour or so) I rode a train. Everyone I know who has been to India always told me I had to ride a train there to have really experienced India and now I definately believe them. It was alot of fun. I bought some sweet Puma flip flops for about 7 bucks in Nepal. We met lots of people and got to do a kids program at a leprosy colony which was neat. We went to the West Bengal Handicrafts Expo in Siliguri and to a mall. At the mall I was freaking out to Autumn about how clean it was. I was just saying it over and over again, she thought I was strange. I'm definately in for some culture shock when I get back to Canada. Wilf & Laura Olson leave today to go to Delhi to fly to Canada tomorrow. It will be sad to see them go as we have all had a wonderful time with them. Becky went to Mizoram for Christmas with her friend on Monday so it's back to just the five of us. It will definately be different as Wilf & Laura have been with us for a month so we'e gotten used to being a family of 8 but with Autumn and Andrew around it is never boring. Some pictures uploaded! Isn't that cool! (I have to get excited about it cause it rarely works for some reason.). Anyways that's it for now and I probably won't post again for awhile so if I don't get around to it before Christmas, Have a very Merry Christmas!

Love,

Nadine :)
