So I am back in India, been a year since I was last here. Already enjoying the food. There is one things majorly different about this trip though. I am with 28 white ladies! Yeah you should have seen the look on the faces of the airport officials when I was strolling off the plane in Delhi with them. It was priceless. I must say though, it's been a pretty pleasant trip so far. No attitudes, or cattiness. But we're only a day in here. We'll see how long it will last. Got to go see the girl Jennie & I sponsor today, well yesterday it's 3 in the morning & I don't know why I'm up. It was a pretty cool moment to see & hug the child you are giving a second chance in life to. It was actually humbling. Weird how that happens. Many of the ladies on the trip got to meet the children they sponsor & so it was just an all round good time. Tomorrow starts the conferences so we'll be at it from 6am to evening. Good times. There has been some recent violence against the church up here in the northern part of India. There have been bombings & killings, by religious extremists who don't want to see people converted to Christianity. One of the pastor's we are working with has been getting threatening phone calls everyday. We have had to cancel some venues where conferences & children's ministry were going take place. So it's pretty serious. Safety is a huge concern so we are traveling in smaller groups rather than one large bus. So all in all it's been a good trip so far. Watched the entire 3rd season of the office on the way here. Definitely helped pass 13 hrs away easily. If you have never watched the office or tried it, I definitely recommend it. It is absolutely hillarious. Well I should go to bed. More to come tomorrow. I borrowed one of the National Mission of Mercy staff's Wireless Broadband card. So no 9$ per hr for internet for me this time. Atleast for most of this trip. Here are some pics to tide you over till tomorrow. I'm out.
