A great day at the Children's home




We had a wonderful time yesterday at the Children's home in Mumbai. What a bunch of beautiful of children! Lukas tried to teach them "Who's the king of the Jungle?" Mitchell, you and Austin willl have to help them learn it some more when you come! Those of you who are doing Marathon for Missions, Go get those pledges! These children need your help!:)
Today we are touring Mumbai and doing some shopping. Tonight at 8:00pm we fly to Dehli. We appreciate your prayers for that as well. Only 2 days till we go to see our little boy!!!

Allyson, Nakita and Paje, We love you lots and miss you and send lots of hugs and kisses! We will try to call you when we are in Delhi.

Lots of love to all and thanks for your prayers!

Good Day Scott, Amy & Lukas (and all you girls over in Waseca):

When we talk of the 13.5 million orphans in India it seems like a big blob but when I look at the pictures of you playing, hugging and loving on 64 of orphans...they become real people. Every child deserves a daddy to ride on his back and a mommy to get hugs and be loved!!!! Thanks for stepping into the "affliction of an orphan" and letting them smell the love of JESUS all over you. We are praying for you, the girls in Waseca and your DELIVERY next week. Lukas, as they bring your brother down the hall and into your families waiting arms, keep saying to your mom take deep breaths and exhale saying “ paa paa paa… deep breaths mom...paa paa paa”. Love you all! The Witte’s

Thanks so much for the pictures! It's really cool to be able to look into the pictures and being able to name some of there names but what's even cooler is not knowing 23 of their names!! We'll be praying for you as you are touring India today and for the next few days before you get Tarun!

Oh my. . . I can't even express the words in my heart. How incredible, Scott, to see those boys on your back with enormous smiles. What a gift to them and the gift that you guys will be giving your son. What a great picture Amy it makes me want to hop a plane and love on those kids. Our prayers are with you as you take this journey of a life time.

Scott, Amy, and Lukas,
I so want to be there with you guys! Thank you for the pictures of the kids! It was so cool to recognize faces and see new ones as well. Scott, thanks for giving the kids pony rides, or maybe it was a bucking bronco ride :) that was one thing we did not do in January. Amy, thank you for showing a mother's love towards these kids. I saw how some of the girls latched on to you in the picture. Lukas, thanks for teaching the kids a new song, I know they appreciated it! You all and the girls are in my prayers. I can't wait to see pictures of you holding Tarun. It is so cool to see all of what God has done. Who would have thought 5 years ago Ewests would be in India?
Jeremiah 29:11
Love you all!

Amy, Scott, and Lukas,

Looking at these pictures really leaves me without words. It is so amazing to see God's love so much at work. It is easy to see how starved for love these kids are and just how much it meant to them to have you there with them. Now, very soon you will be holding your own son (brother) and giving him the love he so much needs. I truly praise God for all the blessings he is bestowing on you and these beautiful kids. May he continue to bless you throughout your trip. I can't wait to see you all holding Tarun and the love overflowing.

Hi guys! What beautiful pictures…my heart and arms just ache to hold those children, spin them around, and see those huge grins for myself! We would gladly open up our home and hearts to at least half a dozen :) What a time you must be having. Doesn’t your heart feel like it could just burst with all the emotion? Just wait until you hold your Tarun for the first time!! You will never be the same…it’s a wild, crazy, fantastic journey…relish EVERY moment. God is SO good.

You’re in our thoughts and prayers throughout the day.

With love, Kris, Dave, and the girls
