As we prepare to leave Houston, I look back at some of the
pictures of our experiences here. Wanna take a quick tour of Houston with me?
Normally when you go to a baseball game, you dress to sweat.
So did we, and boy were we surprised when we stepped into an INDOOR baseball
stadium, air-conditioned and everything! It was the best and most surprising
FEELING at a baseball game. We had a fun time with our team and a few interns.
Visiting with good Iraqi friends, we always come away with
full bellies of TASTY biryani.
Standing on top of a parking garage looking out over the
complexes in our neighborhood, praying for the people who live there, we look
directly below us to SEE a Burmese refugee trying to crawl underneath the
fence. As we watch her path and direction, she walks along the sewage drainage
area looking for who knows what? Maybe a fish for dinner? Or plants to use as
herbs?
Every Monday, we HEAR repetition of "1/3 cup, 1/3 cup,” as we
partnered with Houston Refuge to serve refugees in the area as English
teachers. One of our interns, Meghann, led the classes fantastically.
After listening to and observing a Hindu Aarti ceremony,
we walk into the gift shop and SMELL India immediately, with all of it’s tasty
treasures awaiting us, that are blessed by the gods.
I hope that you've enjoyed getting a "sense" of what life has been like here in Houston!
