Arriving

Oh my word.

I want to start by telling you about a verse I read on the plane ride to India. It's in Hosea and I can't remember the exacts but it sad we should have confident dependence in our God. That verse is now the theme verse for me and this trip.

Some highlights:
In JFK loading the plane to India, Bridg says "Holy BO" and we were off to a crowded plane where we were the minority!

Fly Air India whenever you can: screens on the back of the seats (with good movies I might add and even an episode of friends!) , warm cloths, eye covers for sleeping, footies to keep warm and a nice blanket. We were sold on India at that point.

We got to Delhi and had to connect flights with no boarding pass or ticket in hand to prove that we were to be on that plane. Yikes. Some major running between two Indian airport people to get our tickets printed so we could just get to our flight... this is all with about 2 hours before our flight was to take off... talk about stress! We get to our check in counter and they scan our bags only to stop mine and stare at me like some criminal... "you have tools. empty your bag ma'am" (uh oh) so I empty it and he takes it back to scan it. "is it ok?" I ask. "no ma'am it is not ok!" you have tools! and out comes a swiss army knife! whoops! maybe I forgot about that little knife. He let us go and there are now minutes before we are to get on our plane. But we made it:)

The connection in Kolkata and our hotel went so smoothly it was unbelievable! To all who prayed specifically for that, Thank you! God so totally went ahead and prepared the way!

I'll let someone else talk about some of the other highlights...

God is so Good and he shows us that minute by minute. The people here are beautiful, but it is a hard country.

Love you all and LOVE hearing from you!
