Bapatla diary 5

When we returned from the leper colony that Sunday, Jonathan and Kandyce were on the porch playing with some of the children.


Jonathan said, "I have always thought I had perceptive parents, but now I'm not so sure. You are not very observant."

Immediately, I knew...



The ring, which had been sewn into a tiny handmade bag and carefully pinned inside the zipper pouch of Coty's passport neck bag and handed over to Jonathan the day Coty arrived in Hyderabad, was on her finger!

Jonathan had proposed on the roof of the orphanage to the love of his life late the night before. And though she had waved her hand conspicuously around at breakfast before we left for Bethany Colony, we had failed to notice. If you'd like to read the whole story, Jonathan tells it much better than I ever could.

Pictures of the party coming....

How romantic! And what beauties they hold in their arms in this pic! So amazing to read about your adventures...and to see how love lives in such a trip.

Thanks for sharing, Beth.
