Thanks for the prayers for traveling....we arrived safely in Hyderabad after a few adventures. We decided to travel at night since it is cooler and it had been 115 degrees in the daytime! After traveling all night we slept for a few hours at a Seihk hostel which was an interesting experience. We were disappointed to find out that the Taj Mahal was closed to visitors due to a Muslim holy day. We were still able to see the outside of it, which is pretty impressive. We also got to see Akbar's tomb (the husband who built the Taj Mahal) and the fort. We were amazed at the marble in these lesser wonders so our imaginations went wild with the Taj!
We continued on to Delhi and had a 3 a.m. tour of the India Gate! We had a flight to catch at 5:30 a.m. and when we got back into our van it wouldn't start. Thankfully we had another vehicle along and were able to swap out that battery and get the van started, so we all piled into the van and made it to the airport ON TIME!
We are now at the Meagher's compound in Hyderabad. There are 150 orphans here along with many staff. Pastor Dave spoke at their church service today which was wonderful. We have been getting to know the children and that has been a great experience. Thankfully it is a bit cooler here-in the 90's. They have plans for us these next few days to paint and dig holes and plant trees and of course work with the children. Pastor Dave and Warren will also be teaching in the Bible school.
We would appreciate prayer for all of these things and also for the ability to stay healthy. Some of us are fighting that flu bug and that makes things difficult!
We still don't have internet access so we can't promise how frequent these posts will be.
Thank you so much for standing with us in continued prayer!
Warren for the team
