Hello again! I just had to share with you a little bit of what happened today... So one of the guys, Yaseer, that works with me at the coffee shop had got his hair cut yesterday and I was in desperate need of a haircut myself so I asked if he could take me sometime to get it done. He said he would take me tommorrow since he had off and he also said he would take me around town and shopping for a few things I needed. So, today He came to pick me up and we hopped on his motercycle and went off. Yaseer is a muslim and when he picked me up he was wearing his full muslim traditional dress and he told me that after we were done he had to go to the mosque for prayer. As we were riding through town together I just got so full of joy because to me being with him and having him as my friend and being able to share a motercycle, a muslim and Christian, together, is so beaufitul to me. THAT is what life is about. It hard to really express the joy I feel right now through words, but as I write this tears fill my eyes as I think about the little bit of the Kingdom of God I got to be a part of today. I have got to see many different types of "ministries" and "evangelism" as i have traveled and met people here in India, but today it just reaffirmed for me that it is all about genuine relationships. Yaseer and I might be different in some ways, but is more ways, we are the same. I love that I get the privilage of being his friend as well as the other workers at the shop and everyone else I have met. I am their friend not because i have some hidden agenda but because I really just love them.

Two friends. One Muslim, one Christian. Sharing part of their lives with each other and more importantly, loving each other as friends. I want these kind of things to be what my life is about.

Something inside of me broke today. In a very good way.

love-
