Everyday Miracles!

Yesterday afternoon we were sitting at the house when two Hindu women came by for treatment of an ear infection. Now I have seen many inner ear infections and this one was bad! We cleaned the woman's ear out, and gave her antibiotics. It really wasn't anything out of the norm, pretty standard. The women were both very nice and very curious about their infections. They left and that was it.

Today we were upstairs when we heard Pastor calling us downstairs. We had a visitor. We get visitors quite often here so we figured we would go down stairs, shake a few hands, take a picture and be on our way. To our surprise, the two women were back with their husbands. As Pastor was showing the men around the orphanage the women sat and had tea, also very standard for India. 

Pastor then came and began to translate for us. These two Hindu women came from 40km away, about an hour by car. They were so impressed with the care we gave them the day prior, they decided to bring their husbands back. The women told us that when they saw what three American girls were doing for the least of those in India, they realized that they could be doing more to help their very own country. They decided to donate an equivalent of $3,000 American dollars to go towards construction of a proper eating area for the children (currently they eat outside on the porch). It truly is a blessing to be a blessing. We had no idea that this was to come from a simple ear infection. 

We later find out that these two Hindu women told Sunneta the day prior that the one woman had her ear infection for many years and it was not going away. Sunneta prayed to God, the one true God. She told to women that if they felt anything they could come back, and if nothing changed then they could be on their way.

Low and behold they drove an hour back the next day, just do donate the money completely and utterly out of the blue! Wow, what a miracle and what a blessing! 

It is a true miracle of God. I can not even begin to explain to you all, how many daily miracles we see here. Honestly every day we just look at each other in awe, wondering how in the world are we so blessed to be apart of what is going on here. From money to medical supplies, rain and our health and safety, God is pouring blessing upon this trip like none other. 

Thank you all for the prayers!
