And I broke down. The emotion caught me off guard. I hadn't cried in years, and I was really sobbing." (Page 54, Part I) mtthiaw100 https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/201452704 2017-10-29 02:23:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/201452704 Conor cries in his room alone after telling the kids that he was not sure when he was going to be back because he felt like he was betraying the children. The children in the orphanage were very poor and just scraping by and they were still happy. Conor didn't think it was right to go and abandon them, have almost a year of fun, and never return to start anew life without doing anything else for the kids. mtthiaw100 https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/201452747 2017-10-29 02:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/201452747 Conor feeling shame as he thinks of never returning. mtthiaw100 https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/201452893 https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/depression-management-techniques/201507/shame-and-depression]]> 2017-10-29 02:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/201452893 "'Okay, Raju... okay, I'm up. What festival?' He paused, and the bemused sliver of his face showed that the question had caught him off guard. 'I don't know, Brother!' None of the kids knew. It was simply 'Festival'" (Page 65, Part II) mtthiaw100 https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/201518692 2017-10-29 18:18:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/201518692 Conor was shocked that even though there seemed to be a festival, none of the children knew what the festival was for. This restated to Conor that the children were so poor that they had festivals without knowing why. This also told Conor that even though the children are in poverty, that they are still people that enjoy festivals and life with optimistic views. mtthiaw100 https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/201519673 2017-10-29 18:27:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/201519673 The children in poverty enjoying their lives with what they have. mtthiaw100 https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/201520387 https://www.newsgram.com/national-childrens-film-festival-ncff-to-be-celebrated-with-make-in-india-theme-in-jaipur-rajasthan/]]> 2017-10-29 18:34:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/201520387 "Haunting me were the last words I has said to the children before I left them. Somebody would take them to a safe place, where there would be many children and they could go to school and be well fed and sleep in beds and have proper shoes. They didn't believe it. I sat beside them and looked them in the eye and told them that this time, it was true."

This guilt makes Conor commit to trying to save the children even though he most likely realizes that it would be nearly impossible to find all of them. The guilt Conor has surpasses his own desires and starts his path to finding the seven children. mtthiaw100 https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/203496452 2017-11-04 01:43:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/203496452 Conor feeling guilty over the fact of letting the kids and their aspirations down. mtthiaw100 https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/203496688 https://fallenpastor.com/our-pastor-committed-adultery-20-years-ago/]]> 2017-11-04 01:49:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/203496688 "Then suddenly, like a brick between the eyes, it hit me, the one who looked like Navin, was Navin. The boy I had lost and then found. and his brother, next to him, who looked like Madan, was the real Madan. I leaped to my feet. The man walking toward me was their father; I had met him in my first days in Humla.

He had to endure his injured knee while hiking in an area he knew was dangerous. By seeing them, it made Conor realize that he had accomplished what he set out to do and felt proud that he helped the children reunite with their families. mtthiaw100 https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/203571590 2017-11-04 21:07:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/203571590 Conor proud and overjoyed that he reunited some of the children with their families. mtthiaw100 https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/203571732 http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6865967/thomas-rhett-die-a-happy-man-success-wife-lauren]]> 2017-11-04 21:10:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/203571732 "'It's not that, I am happy, the trip went well- but I think I need a break. I was thinking I might go back to the States for a bit, maybe six weeks.'... 'It is time for your break' he said. 'And I think Liz will be happy to see you, too.' 'She better be,' I said, taking a deep breath. 'I'm going to ask her to marry me.'"

Knowing this, Conor's only option to stay with Liz is to ask her to marry him. He finds himself as not worthy for her since he has no money and works outside of the states. Even though he believes this, he still feels like this is one of the only times he could go and ask Liz to marry him. mtthiaw100 https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/203661896 2017-11-05 18:15:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/203661896 Conor proposing to Liz while in the United States. mtthiaw100 https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/203662495 https://www.thespruce.com/marriage-proposal-dos-and-donts-3489820]]> 2017-11-05 18:19:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mtthiaw100/unp4i2dpa803/wish/203662495
