Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ,
Our adventure so far has been all about the journey, not the destination! God pulled out all the stops to move us where we needed to be. We have met some very nice accommadating people along the way. Linda seems to always find a teacher to share experiences, Sleeping in the airport at New Delhi was much the same as sleeping in the airport at Newark, except they let you stay all night in Delhi. I went a little bonkers when we were without water for a couple of hours. It shames me that I can take my eye off of Jesus for just a moment & sink into the sea, just as Peter did. He provided us with water just a little later. We must be strong in our faith, for He is true & kind. We are just a little tired, but excited to be here.We stopped somewhere in Chennai for an Indian Continental Breakfast. Picture corn flakes with hot buffalo milk. TISI (this is so India) then back to our long ride to Puttur. Mary had fixed us a "Sunday" lunch. Red chicken legs & cooked carrots & peppered potatoes.
We have just finished at the Ashram saying hello to the children who are back from summer holiday and to the families & staff at the Mission. I have guessed so many people incorrectly, it is not funny! The kids change so much in 2 years! Everyone is tall & strong. Today is Edward Samuel Joel's 10th birthday, so, of course there was cake to be fed to us all! Whoops, probably given Sister Deb the head's up on that one. We are having dinner at Anitha & Praveen's house, so I am using Praveen's laptop, since I am having laptop power struggles. I will bring my laptop to Praveen's house daily to post.
In Christ's love!
