India) definition of perfection. We try our best to protect her but it is like playing a game of basketball we dodge left to escape one and there is another there... the most sucessful way is for Anna to go to full tears and us to get upset... then next time they give her some respect... and we feel like a fool.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14977832744110795028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349997624702318026.post-19683680015010810002008-04-02T00:06:00.000-05:002008-04-02T00:06:00.000-05:00Yes we know this whole thing is "culture shock."

Add to that we are being apposed, not by God, from doing good. Yes we do not like it here... and we will not like it there for different but similar reasons. What we long for is Heaven, the perfect love and perfection that can only be found in Christ.<BR/><BR/>It is wednesday and the fever has gone down, we started yesterday giving Anna antibiotics. We think the stress let her get sick. We are cautiosly showing her that the world is somewhat safe, but being sick makes it hard.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14977832744110795028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349997624702318026.post-68875857962612618072008-04-01T13:34:00.000-05:002008-04-01T13:34:00.000-05:00You realize that when you guys come back, it will ...You realize that when you guys come back, it will be a shock all over again.

But we can't. We will be praying for her. How do the other kids in the neighborhood handle all of the pinching or is Anna with her little blond hair just asking to be "loved on". Hat and glasses? :-) <BR/><BR/>Oh, Samuel says he loves Anna's flower on the top of the page. :-)<BR/><BR/>I need to email you guys! Dave has been working on the desktop computer (our hard drive passed away), so I will so, once I find your address again. :-)<BR/>ChrisChris S-Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05827919949066438786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349997624702318026.post-57728273617363357912008-03-30T12:00:00.000-05:002008-03-30T12:00:00.000-05:00Poor Anna!
