Papa Rides Again

Dear Daughter,

For the past two days, Papa was working on a film here in India. We will be working on this for a couple of weeks in addition to Papa still teaching English, so I will be quite busy!

I have to act like I am Edward Sargent who was a respected man in Tamil Nadu for promoting education and was involved with the church here. In India there are many religions, including Christianity, which is what he believed in. It is important for us to learn about the many different religions in the world to help us understand each other better.

Mr. Sargent used to ride a horse wherever he went because there were no cars, nor Tak-Taks when he lived in India over 100 years ago. So, Papa had to be filmed riding a horse through a banana grove. Here are some pictures of me on the horse! The Tamil word for horse is “kuthirai.”

I love you,

Papa
