So, like I said in my last blog, my team is with the BURN 24/7 organization traveling around India helping churches and performing worship sessions. And when I say traveling around India I mean ALL AROUND India. Seven cities in about 3 weeks. When I left you last we had arrived in Calcutta after a 26 hour train ride from Mumbai. While there we visited different churches and helped with worship. Our last day there we got to visit Mother Teresa's tomb and afterwards we went shopping. From Calcutta we took a 2 hour plane ride to Jaipur. Jaipur is an AMAZING city with countless palaces and temples. We were fortunate to be able to visit quite a few while we were there. We saw the floating palace, the pink city and the palace of the winds, the infamous monkey temple, rode elephants to the top of the Amber Palace, and we even got to visit some temple ruins (the name escapes me at the moment) at the top of a mountain that overlooks the city. Jaipur is DEFINITELY worth a visit if you're ever in India. After Jaipur we hopped on a bus for 8 hours to the beautiful city of Udaipur. Udaipur is another city with many temples and palaces. While there we visited more churches and did some more site seeing. From Udaipur we took a 6 hour van ride to the city of Jaboa where we stayed for only 1 day but were blessed to be the guests of a church service that had over 1000 people who were all crammed in a little room just to see us. It was a humbling, but also strange experience to say the least. After Jaboa, we took a short 2 hour flight to Delhi. Delhi was pretty much just a time for us to rest, and also see the Taj Mahal in Agra. What an awesome experience that was, and another item checked off my bucket list. Even though we spent 12 hours traveling there and back from Delhi it was well worth it. Plus I got to play with some monkeys and kiss another cobra on the way there. Just another crazy day in India. Finally after Delhi, we took another 2 hour plane ride back to Mumbai where we are spending our last week taking some more much needed rest and visiting the other teams for debrief before we head to Nepal. India has been one crazy ride after another. Such a beautiful country and super nice people. I will be sad to leave. Anyway, it's getting late here and I am extremely exhausted so I'm gonna get off here. I look forward to writing to you all again once I reach Nepal. Peace!!!!
