Elder Riley!

Jace (Scott's brother) has been on a mission in India for about 5 months and he finally sent us some pictures! We were so excited, he would have sent us more but the computers over there are way slow so he could only send 2. We've learned a lot about India since he's been there. He's been in Chennai, India all 5 months, there are 4.5 million people in his area and only 8 missionaries and there are only 70 active members in his branch, there is a lot of work to be done!   There is no toilet paper (gross huh?), there are 3 seasons...Hot, hotter, and hottest it can get up to 115 degrees with 90% humidity! He said sometimes their door will expand so much because of the humidity that it won't open in the morning!  He finally got his first warm shower a week ago, and cows roam the streets! It sounds pretty crazy to me!
