"Mad Dogs and Englishmen..."

Strange title, I know... but it is from a quote our adoption agency rep said in regards to the extreme heat this time of year in India.   She said that the phrase she learned growing up there, which hearkens back to colonial times, is that "Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the afternoon heat!"

Well, I am asking for prayers for us, because we are not accustomed to the kind of heat we will encounter, and we will need extra stamina!  It will be around 115 degrees and 80% or higher humidity!  They say it is oppressive... sometimes feels hard to even breathe.  And the orphanage where we will be spending a lot of time with Lily does not have AC.  That is one thing for people who are "used to it" but quite something else for us American "pansies"! hahaha

So although it seems a kind of silly request (We are going to pick up our CHILD, after all!!) please pray for us as we deal with this extreme physical discomfort.  I especially tend to get grumpy when I am too hot.  And I really don't want to be grumpy on this trip.  Scott doesn't want me to either... hahaha!

Thanks everyone...
