India April 28th

Hello All from India~

It seems like forever since I have sent an update. I got a touch of what we now refer to as the Delhi Belly! Yes, you can imagine that I did not go far from a bathroom. Much better now.

We believe that it was 109 degrees today and is supposed to be 111 tomorrow. WOW!
Jesse and I are kind of enjoying not being cold. Ned is not so much!

Hannah had quite the adventure last week teaching 30 students by herself. On Wednesday the teacher's realized that she was 11 years old. This did not excuse her from teaching on Thursday or Friday though! The teacher's were impressed that she did not complain. Hannah ended up really enjoying her time. She wanted to be able to speak in front of people more so I guess she got it.

Jesse stepped up on Thursday as I was sick and could not go to the schools. So on his own he went to the other girls in our team of 4 and told them that it was okay. He came up with his own plan to teach for the day. One of the girls sat with him in class but he taught for the day. How fun is that. He said he missed me a little but not too much as he was able to teach!

Sammi played bass guitar along with one of the India Staff here for praise and worship at our afternoon worship service. She did really well and enjoyed it alot.

Jesse is getting able to compete in a Tae Kwon Do tournament on Sunday. How fun for him to "internationally" compete. The teachers are very happy that we are allowing him. He is excited!

Ned and I are doing well. Making many friends. Ned has made a friend who is a converted Muslim who would like to spend more time with him. This is really neat. This man has a ministry in the Muslim community here.

We are doing well and have switched ministries for the last part of our trip to the Campus Ministries. We not only minister and help in the coffee shop but also go to the University each day and make friends and evangelize.

We have gotten quite comfortable with riding the Metro and traveling the city with no guides. We visited Raj Ghat, the memorial for Gandhi, on Saturday and had tea and cookies with our shop keeper friend on Sunday afternoon after church. We have also visited "Monkey Park" and seen the monkeys and their babies.

Thank you for your prayers. As always please send your requests to us too and/or any notes.

Ned would love some of the "winter" part of that for the weather here:)

Blessings and Prayers~

What are the Walkers doing right now?

We are moving!!

The last week of August, our family will be moving long-term to Santiago, Dominican Republic. We will be working with YWAM Santiago and the Martin Family! We are super excited about this transition. But also praying for wisdom as we figure out visa's, residency, what to do with our things, etc...


As always, we are praying that the Lord will use us wherever we are!



Lord, help us not to miss the things you have prepared for us to do!
