India: December 2008
http://laurasaltindia.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 28, 2008. I have this habit. I've been called out on it recently. I went to a campfire/barbeque (totally reminded me of home, btw! During that evening, we split into two groups for a game. One group came up with 10 why? Questions and the other group made 10 because.statements. Then they were read as questions and answers. Most of them were rather hilarious. But one question that the other group asked was, "Why Laura always smiles for no reason? Sometimes I smile when no other reaction wi...

India: What is it about India?
http://laurasaltindia.blogspot.com/2009/05/what-is-it-about-india.html
Thursday, May 28, 2009. What is it about India? I have been trying to put my finger on just what it is about this country that I love. Although I haven’t been able to draw any conclusions, I have had fun reminiscing about ongoing quirks or funny experiences I’ve had in this culture. 1 There’s always room for one more in any mode of transportation. Family of 4? One motorcycle’s all you need. Have a matchbox car? That’ll fit 7-8 people, easy. 8220;Where are you going? 7 The electricity can and will go out ...

India: June 2009
http://laurasaltindia.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2009. For someone who is hungry, the good news of Jesus is a meal. For one who is poor, the good news is sustainable livelihood - escape from poverty. For the oppressed, good news is freedom from the oppressor. As we think about sharing the good news with people, shouldn't we focus on those physical and social needs first? The people we are serving will want to know about our God then! We can minister to the spiritual needs of the people better when the physical needs are met. View my c...

India: Wrapping Up
http://laurasaltindia.blogspot.com/2009/07/wrapping-up.html
Monday, July 13, 2009. So I'm beginning to wrap up my SALT year. I left Ranchi yesterday. I'm in Kolkata for a week before until my flight out of India. The next month or two will consist of tons of transitioning. I already feel like my head is swimming. So much moving around and trying to figure out what comes next. I have posted more pictures from my last few months in India. Check them out! At the moment, this whole year seems like a dream. Did it really happen? Has it really been a year? World situat...

India: November 2008
http://laurasaltindia.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2008. It probably seems strange to be feeling alone when there are so many people every time I go outside. I want to have a group of people to just hang out with here in Ranchi. I was thinking about how I was going to make that happen. And then it occurred to me – I can’t make that happen. Kinda depressing, eh? So instead of refusing to change, I made myself busy with random tasks throughout the day so I wouldn’t have to think about changing. I don’t know if that train trip has...

India: March 2009
http://laurasaltindia.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 23, 2009. God is faithful. He is continually showing me that He hasn’t forgotten about me, even when I’ve forgotten what I asked for! I was reminded recently of a blog entry I had written at the end of December about smiling. The entry was brought up because of a question asked during a campfire. “Why Laura always smiles for no reason? Even if only for that one night).”. And I know Mom and Dad enjoyed that as well. Just ask them about MY India.). Ephesians 3:20-21 “Now to him who is a...

India: April 2009
http://laurasaltindia.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 26, 2009. This post has been a long time in coming. So my cousins, John and Heidi, came to visit me in India. It was so much fun having them here. Other than stomach issues, travel issues, and general tiredness, it was a wonderful whirlwind of a week. We spent the next day in Delhi, shopping and visiting Red Fort (apparently I can visit the same fort 3 times in one year! We returned to Delhi on Friday and met up with Liz, Priti, and Priti’s cousin, Suku for shopping. Once we reached Agra, w...
