India baby

We made it to India!!

 

 

Oh my dear Lord. What an experience already. So to start this off. Leaving Kansas City we did not have our passports. They were waiting to be shipped from Chicago. So two of our leaders drove over night to Chicago to get them from the BLS and meet us at the Chicago air port to give them to us. Our flights were all on the same itinerary and because we were flying out of the country one our second flight we needed to check in with our passports. Long story short and after a bunch of prayer, they figured out a way to make it work so that we did not have to have our passports till we checked in at the Chicago air port.

 

Our check in at Chicago went smoothly. We were able to sit and enjoy dinner together as a team before getting onto our 12 hour flight to Abu Dhabi. The flight was delayed two hours because the equipment to load water onto the plane was frozen. Which made our layover in Abu Dhabi quite hectic. We had to speed walk to our connecting flight. That flight was only 6 hours long to Hyderabad. Our layover in Hyderabad was about two hours. Then we were Finally on our way to Visakhapatnam.

 

We landed in Vizag at 8:30 am local time.  We had an Indian breakfast at the airport then headed to our new home. We are so spoiled. We have two houses right next to each other. By houses I mean you walk in the front door and enter the living room/dinning room. There is no furniture. We have a kitchen, a bathroom that has an American toilet and a shower head, two bed rooms. We sleep on the floor which hurts a bunch but its a small price to pay.

 

The food is great, we have our own cook and driver. We are so spoiled. Our team is amazing. Such a tightknit family. We spend hours a day worshiping, praying and reading the word. In public we have really tried to watch what we say. Like prayer time is pt, praise the Lord is ptl. Which for me makes me smile every time. PTL for the sake of PTL. Love double meaning phrases.

 

God is so good. I feel him so strongly here. My mind is so focused and He has made my path clear and straight. Cant wait to start our ministry time on Sunday morning. We are giving our testimonies and preaching. The Lord is good and I can not wait to see Him work in the people of India!! Thanks for your prayers. Until next time. Lots of love from India.
