Riot Day

Today was a blessing in disguise. People in India today had a nation-wide protest because gas here is $6 a gallon. That is some really expensive gas! Anyways, the protest resulted in riots. Mr. Jurgensen told us that they were burning cars and stoning drivers. That is really really sad. We weren't allowed to go to the orphanages, which was really disappointing, but I've realized that God was opening the door of fellowship and allowing us to minister to each other instead. The day started nice chat in our room between Ellen, Berea, and me, but quickly gained in number. At first, it was just Ben and Noah who came up, and we ended up playing Truth or Dare and then HotSeat. To those of you who don't know what HotSeat is, I shall explain.

Rules of HotSeat:

• each person is on the HotSeat for 1 min
• you can ask anything you want
• they must answer honestly
• they can veto if its too personal

Rebekah and Madeline ended up joining us in the middle of HotSeat. After HotSeat, we ended up asking eachother really deep, meaningful questions, and it was wonderful! We just had the best conversation! We asked questions like: "If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be and why?" or "What's the most beautiful thing you've ever seen a person do" or "What's the most beautiful thing about people". The best part about it was that the answers were really deep, and everyone was so open and vulnerable. I got to see the hearts of each of the young adults on the trip, and that was completely wonderful!

After having a deep conversation for a while, we got pretty slap happy, and decided to let the pranks begin. After failing to saran wrap Ruth Fasel's toilet (she caught us red handed), we decided to saran wrap her door, while she was inside taking a nap. She didn't mind at first, but eventually she needed to get out, and we convinced her to run straight at all the saran wrap and duct tape. It was very funny.
