Hello Friends!
I am sorry for my lack of communication over the past week. I hit a little road bump in my trip and ended up spending 3 days in an Indian Hospital because of a stomach infection and dehydration...not fun. They released me yesterday and I am feeling better so hopefully when I am off my diet of all boiled food I will not get sick again. Due to my stint in the hospital my move to the orphanage has been delayed and I will stay at the slum school for at least another week or two. Apparently the orphanage I will be moving to is a good distance from the hospital and it is better for me to stay where I am at the moment.
I am starting to get a little homesick since Christmas is tomorrow and I keep thinking about all the family traditions I am missing, but my host family is having a Christmas dinner so hopefully I will be distracted. Today Peiqi and I went out and purchased Christmas gifts and it was nice to see this one pastry shop we always go to really decorated for Christmas. They placed a medium sized tree in the corner of the room and decorated it and both Peiqi and I took a picture next to the tree.
This week I am hoping to make it to school everyday and avoid any more medical mishaps! I am slowly adjusting to life in India and I am hoping as time passes it will only get easier. Everyone here has been so welcoming and that makes it easier to be away from all my loved ones.
Please have a wonderful Christmas and New Years. I love and miss you all!
Allie
