After much travail and long hours, we have finally accomplished a great feat:
YOU can now see and experience just a little bit of our surroundings and daily living quarters. We absolutely love where we are living and are so grateful for all those who are caring for us and teaching us how to operate within the Indian culture.
Please bear in mind, we took these videos within our first weeks here (January) and many things have changed in the months since that time. We also now better understand the culture and watch (with bashful faces) as we incorrectly present many aspects of life here in this video. Before we leave, however, we plan to walk through life here again and present a more "finished" picture of our lives here and our better understanding of the culture and habits that make up this wonderful society.
Additional note: Bethany was not being a camera hog. Chelsea was not in a "movie-genic" mood that day. But, both of us have become significantly more camera and picture friendly since then and we hope our farewell videos will be a bit more creative, fun, and informative. In the mean time, bear with us as we attempt to develop our presentation skills :)
I tried very hard to get our videos to upload into here, but I can't seem to make it work. You'll have to use the links to get to YouTube. Please let us know if there are any problems!

Wow! What excellent videos, ladies (Chelsea on the camera angles and Bethany on the lovely reporting). It was so good to have a context for all those pictures we get to see. Now we can all go back to those pictures in our minds to place them in the bigger picture. Again, we're all so glad you guys get to invest this season of your lives to serve our Indian brothers and sisters and learn more about our great Lord - especially how He wants to work through you to accomplish His will for your time in India. Thanks also for taking the many hours it probably took to post these videos!
