Well we arrived in India late Sunday night. The airport went really well we thought we were ready for everything we would see. I prayed time and time again that God would set my heart right for the Shock of a whole new culture. He does not fail to do so when you ask of him, it was very difficult but I was able to handle it. The things I have seen and experienced the last few days just in Calcutta are indescribable to say the least. Not only did God help me throughout every sticky situation but he allowed for me to see the light in every situation as well. God is Great!
So when we arrived in Calcutta we went and took a crazy ride in an Indian taxi, lets just say you have not lived until you've ridden in one!!! We got brought to a hotel that we made reservations at, when we got dropped off the driver said to "be careful, don't go outside because it is a Muslim only area." That was not fun to here, so we went in and went straight to bed, got up the next morning and fled away to the train station quickly.
In the train station we went to get our tickets but came to find out that we couldn't get tickets and had to go to a different place for foreigners to get the tickets. When we got there we met some Americans and they were able to help us along. A little while before meeting them, a guy on my team prayed we would meet some Americans to help us, God answered that prayer as well. So this time we found a nice hotel and we burnt that day up with things like the Mother Theresa House and exploring a bit. That night we finally had our tickets for 10:05 p.m.
So we were off at last, the train ended up being over 10 hours long. We arrived in a village this morning, and got in a jeep for 4 hours. It brought us to Darjeeling where we are now preparing for what we will do here. Thank you for your paryers, Sorry for lack of words...didnt have much time.
God Bless!
