We arrived safely and are enjoying time with friends this morning in Delhi. We are reminded how different life is here; within the first 15 min of our 45 min ride from the airport to our friends' house, we saw a fatal motocycle accident and a teenage beggar with amputated arms tapping on our window at a stoplight.
Of course our driver wanted more than we originally agreed on and the bank we exchanged money at tried to give us less than their displayed exchange rate. Our driver couldn't find the address we were going to so as we were driving up and down darkened corridors that all looked exactly the same at 11 pm, we started praying hard when his car stalled and then refused to start. We look at each other and thought, 'plan B?' Thankfully God doesn't need plan B and had us safely to where we needed to go before long.
We are excited to go to church for Palm Sunday with friends, before we leave this afternoon for our next city to visit.
So far the chai is just as good as I remember...

I wonder how many of the 50 movies you & Eric watched? May you know the presence of the Lord near you each day. Hugs, Dad
Praying for you!! Our sermon this morning was from 1 Pet. 1:3-7 about suffering through trials and how that produces endurance and increased faith! Keep your eyes on Jesus! Be safe.
Betsy!! Eric!! We miss and love you! So thankful you're there and safe! Did you have ac for E? Len and Judy reported today on their trip and we thought of the encouragement you are bringing to the families there. Hugs to the children!!
Sounds crazy, and more treacherous than the black forest!
WOW, Bets! Is that ever true, a different world in deed and one the impacts every part of you. I am praying for you and Eric, please give Carolyn and Dewy and huge hug from John and I!
