June 14

Namaste (hello)
Apologizes for this late post, the past couple days have been quite hectic. After 39(ish) hours of airplanes, buses, and taxis we finally made it to Mussoorie. The taxi ride was adventurous, swerving between cars and incessant honking as we sped up the Himalayas toward our destination. The afternoon we spent in a exhausted haze, forcing ourselves to stay awake till 8 (to adjust to the time). Today, however, we all awoke rejuvenated, excited about the days work. The girls and boys separated, the latter going to a school in Mussoorie. There, they enjoyed playing with the children and spreading the gospel. The girls trekked for an hour down a mountainous path into a rural village to have a womens conference. There we shared testimonies, painted nails, and sang praise songs in both Hindi and English. Tomorrow, the team will be splitting into two groups, one hiking to Jordi and the other driving to Sanji. There we will be doing light construction projects. Continue to keep the teams health and safety in your prayers. To be continued...
