Waiting
I can tell this trip is going to teach me to be very patient. I feel like I’ve already reached my limit for waiting and it apparently isn’t over yet. I just landed in Mumbai and its so exciting to be here! Its also 2:30am and my connecting flight was canceled. I am SO thankful for my little internet phone & the book I brought. The next flight is in 4 hours so I will have a nice long opportunity to practice waiting some more.
The women employees at the airport are very helpful but the men seem annoyed when I ask them a question and won’t answer. Yay for signs in English so I don’t have to ask too many Questions!
This morning I enjoyed my last Grande Latte for awhile and enjoyed every drop!

I love this! I love seeing you as your trip progresses! I also love your insights and comments and observations.
We have not stopped thinking about/praying for/imagining what you are doing most moments of the day.
You just called! Great that you are there safely. God is surely taking care of you. I know you’ll be a blessing and a great attribute and testimony to all of the women. They don’t know yet how blessed they are going to be by knowing you and having you as their friend.

I was falling asleep when the call came that you arrived safely. I pray that your heart will be softened towards your new friends and that their purest of joy will encourage you. Give our blessings to Jaipaul and his brother. You’re faith is an inspiration to us and especially your daddy. Love, D.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you! It truly sounds like this trip is going to be a time of learning and growth. I’m so proud of you for taking this opportunity and allowing God to work through you. These women will be very blessed!
