"To the Ends of the Earth"
(by Hillsong UNITED)
I'm really not trying to drag this out, but I just now had the chance to write Part Three of my India trip! I told y'all a bit about the multi-day trek there & my awesome teammates, so now it's time to tell y'all a bit about what we did while we were there...
We only thought we were in a remote part of India after the eight hour drive from the big city, but one day we drove an hour or so out then hiked a few hours up a mountain to an even more remote village! It floods during monsoon season. Yet this time of year, we had to hike quite a ways to even find enough water that you could bathe in.

...enjoyed beautiful weather & gorgeous scenery...
