We’ve been in Delhi for about 3 days now, but it feels more like a week or two. The last few days have been a whirlwind of adjusting to Indian food, only eating with our right hands, dealing with the scorching heat (Okay, maybe not scorching, but when you’re outside in the sun all day long and you have to wear long pants to be dressed appropriately, it’s pretty hot!), shopping for new clothes and fabric to make clothes, buying new cell phones, bargaining with auto rickshaw drivers who think that we’ll pay double because we’re foreigners, and all sorts of other things I’m sure I’ve forgotten. It’s been somewhat crazy, but we’ve accomplished a lot.

On the Final Plane Ride
We’re less than 2 hours from landing and I still don’t believe it’s real. This day has been a long time in coming yet it seems like it’s gotten here really fast – does that even make sense to anyone except me? I know there are exciting adventures and great friendships ahead as well as many sorrows and suffering. I look forward to the next 2 years with excitement as well as uncertainty. I know God has led me here and will guide me the rest of the way. My mixed feelings are mostly only in the background of my thoughts, though, because it’s hard to be excited or worried about something that hasn’t hit me as real yet.
