INDIA!

Greetings from Delhi.

We arrived here yesterday afternoon around 3:00 following a twleve hour flight from NY to Dubai, a two hour layover there, and then a three hour flight to Delhi. It is so good to be back on Indian soil again. This place definately has a special place in my heart.

We were met at the airport by C. Thant Khawbung, one of Bibles for the World's people who lives and works in Delhi. He took us to our hotel where we rested for a few hours and got cleaned up. In the evening, we went to Boaza's house for dinner. Boaza was a member of the 2007 India Children's Choir. His father is a pastor working with Bibles For The World, and the family lives here in Delhi.

This morning, we met up with Jocelyn, the narrator fromt the 2007 India Children's Choir. The four of us in my group, along with Jocelyn and one of her friends, spent a few hours together, including lunch at TGI Fridays! Yea, all the way to India, and we get to eat at TGI Fridays. Very interesting, though, is that there is no beef on the menu. The have hamburgers, but they are lamb meat. Even the McDonalds here in Delhi do not serve any beef.

The rest of the day we will just be hanging out, meeting a few more friends, and then bright and early tomorrow morning, we fly to Northeast India.
