"B" the "thief"

"B" is really becoming a "thief" of sorts....she's stealing hearts and attention! For example, we had a couples' Bible study this evening. "B" stumbled out from her nap into the middle of the study. Eyes followed her. After the study, a lot of people wanted to hold her. She willingly let them, which made her all the more endearing. It's so fun to see her interact and adapt to life in India. People have asked me whether it's worth bringing her so far if she won't remember anything about her time here. I tell them that our trip isn't so much for "B" as it is for our relatives and friends here in India. I'm really glad we came this far to share her with everyone...she brings smiles to a lot of faces. She doesn't take long to warm up with new people. Even with animals...one family we visited today owned an energetic dog (remember Cushy?)...."B" showed little fear of her. Lord willing, there'll be another time for us to return when she's old enough to have meaningful memories of her experiences.
