Leprosy day 1

Today is my halfway point, if I could extend this a month, I would. The last few days have just been normal, not much is shocking anymore, everything is just a part of life. I’ve seen a lot of things that I couldn’t or wouldn’t normally see in the US. I love India.
Today I left for the leprosy clinic, we picked up Amelia and Lauren and and went about an hour away. The hospital is, creepy, for lack of a better word. We are staying in a girls home which houses children who have no other family. There are 8 beds but only 3 of us staying there, there is also and eating area and a bathroom. After getting settled we went out to play with the children. The were so excited to see us, they kept running up to us pointing and saying “my name?!” they wanted us to wing with them, they asked about our parents, they loved singing the weels on the bus, and head and shoulders, some of them would try to talk to us in tamil. One little girl glued herself to me, we each had a group, but this one was really attached, we played duck duck goose and taught them the macarina. Then it was time for them to pray, they grabbed our hands and took us with them, they made us sing with them and tried to find English lyrics. One girl would read the bible verses to us in English, so we could understand them. After prayer we went and played some more, and had dinner, which included a fried egg. All the food was really good, after dinner we just talked for a while and then went to sleep
