1. We gave Maheswari a necklace that Gloria made. After receiving it she took the necklace from around her neck and put it on Natalie.
2. The gift that got the strongest reaction from Maheswari was the supersized bag of suckers that we gave her ( compliments of Carolyn Bradway). We told her that they were for all of her friends back in the village. She was very happy!
3. We brought her a backpack filled with art supplies, a flash light, toothbrush, school supplies, jump rope,etc.
4. Oh Happy Day! I got to hug my 4th daughter. Words could never describe how incredible it was. I should like to bottle such an experience.
5. We were able to find a Christian bookstore in Chennai. They had only one Bible in Maheswari's native language: we bought it! Now I am 100% joy.
