Airport drama, but alas we are here.
The truth is the flight got cancelled, no biggie we got to stay in a fancy pants hotel in Atlanta for one more night and after seeing our plumbing situation here, it was a pretty good setback.
India is so different. To be expected, but the culture shock is real. Here are a few observations from a gal who has lived here approx 48 hours-
- -Who needs toilet paper when you have water
- The new ‘yes’ is a head bobble.
- The exchange rate is huge so everything seems severely expense but in reality it’s all like $2 bucks (still struggling with math and team treasurer- go Kamiren go)
- Trash everywhere
- Ridiculously beautiful clothing
- Seriously extroverted and equally adorable children live here
- Traffic laws? Debatable
- Monsoon season is real
- Goodness I love curry
However, all things aside, I feel like this is exactly where I am supposed to be. I keep having the remind myself I am on the other side of the world since this all feels so right. I am sure the newness will die off and things will get hard after so much time, but I have peace trusting that the Lord chose me for this and I am choosing Him back.
So far we have had trainings on trainings on trainings and everyone seems a little antsy to get the ball rolling, but good news! We will be heading to our first ministry tonight where we will be working for the next 3 weeks, and I couldn’t be more excited to get going. We will be meeting our host in the morning and then not quite sure where we go from there, it sounds like our ministry does a little of everything.
Please pray for safe travel as we will be on an overnight bus tonight and then open hearts when we arrive. 🙂
