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.

The Trip is Underway!

Hey there,

Welcome to the blog that will (hopefully) allow you to follow us (myself, Marv Esh, Mahlon Esh, and Elvin King) as we travel around India for the next month.

Right now, we are at JFK airport in New York and getting ready to board our flight that will take us to Dubai and then on to Delhi.

Tour Is Over, and I'm Going to India!

Hey everyone,

The tour is over... the kids left the US on November 20. I have been back home, enjoying family, friends, and "real" life for a few weeks. Tomorrow, my brother, two firends, and I head for India! I am so excited to get to see all my kids from the last few years and spend Christmas and New Years with them. Can't wait!

California

We are in California, the last out of the twenty-nine states visited during the 2008 India Children's Choir tour. The kids leave in eight days... hard to believe.

Six more concerts left and a few fun things yet to do... DisneyLand on Friday and a cookout on the beach on Monday.

Hanging Out With Family

Not something I get to do a lot, but they are here in Colorado Springs for a visit... all of them, along with a few friends.

I am having a good time hanging out with them... doing some sightseeing and stuff. Right now we are on the cog rail on our way up to the top of Pike's Peak.

The choir kids are on their last day of three days of final exams. This year is winding down real quick. Only three and half more weeks to go.

Snowy Wyoming

Yea, you read that right. We are in Casper, Wyoming, and the snow is coming down. Three inches on the ground already and forecasts of up to two feet over the weekend!

The kids are loving it. This is only the second time in their lives they have had the chance to play in snow... the last time was in January right after they got here.

Yellowstone National Park

Well, we are just getting ready to enter Yellowstone National Park. I have never been in Yellowstone before, so I am thrilled to have a chance to be here.

It is a beautiful day, and we are hoping to see plenty of wildlife and nice scenery. In a few days, you will be able to see and hear about our visit on our website at www.hearthunters.org. Check it out.
