The land of colors....

India! Yes, we are finally here. Its hard to believe its taken this long. It feels like so much time has gone by already, I cant believe it. We got to Mumbai on Tuesday and stayed the night in the city at a hostel so that we could meet the guys on Wednesday at the Mumbai airport. After we picked up our remaining two team members at the airport we headed on to Pune to stay at an orphanage there for about a week. Tuesday we will be heading out for Delhi where we will spend the remaining 5 weeks. At this point we are not totally sure about what we will be doing. We feel as a team its where we are supposed to be and God has given us a pretty good idea of what he wants us to do, now its just a matter of us connecting with the right people to do it. This last half a week at the orphange has been an interesting one adapting to the culture and people. Even having been in India before myself there are a lot of things I had forgotten, mainly the feeling of being a white woman walking around in a country run in which men are held to a higher level than women. For those of you who have walked around Rosarito or some parts of Mexico it is very similar to that. The stares are unbearable at times. Its funny of all the things that I remembered of India the first time around that is not one of them. Despite that this last week has been an intersting time. We had the opportunity to get punjabis and saris this past week to better fit in locally (dont worry a photo will be coming shortly). This morning we also went to a local service at a very large church this morning which was pretty cool. We all wore traditional attire which was pretty cool. I gotta run now but will write again shortly!
