Warning: TMI

Yeah Rob has a rash which is taking over his body... I decided to blog about this because it is in fact a part of our life in India... and this way I can find out if Rob ever really checks what I write on here:) It is extremely hot here now and it seems that this is causing Rob to get rashes that are spreading everywhere. He went to the doctor today which was an interesting experience. The doctor decided that he sould need gloves when examining Rob so he locked Rob in the room while he went to look for gloves (yeah, not used as much here I guess and did he think Rob was going to try and escape). Once he found some gloves he came back. After checking out the rash he wrote Rob 10 prescriptions for pills and lotions. Rob was like... ummmm I had this when I came back from India last time and I was given one pill, why do I need 10. The doctor also asked if Rob would like to have some blood work done... Rob graciously declined and left hopeful that at least one of the ten precriptions would relieve his pain and discomfort. So the moral of the story is you never really know what your getting into when you go to India:)
In all seriousness, we heard today that one of our graduates from the Bible College died suddenly in a motorbike wreck. He was 20 years old. Rob went to the hospital where he had died and the man was just laying on the floor on a blanket. Rob said it was a mess. The mans name was Ezekial. Please pray for his family as they recover from this tragedy.
