One City Down

So I'll be honest...I'm just too tired to fully recollect and explain all the events of the first city so I'll try to just give bulleted lists. If it leaves you in too much anticipation, just let me know on the message board of what topics seem interesting and I can explain more.
-Pwalked, I'm pretty sure, the entire city...possibly the first followers to do so in this city.
-Ate at the same two restaurants the entire time.....there's only so many things you can eat and enjoy 18 times
-Got some surveys done....really interesting answers by the way
-Hung out with a family of fabric merchants
-Played cricket for the first time....pretty fun I guess
-Sat around and talked with a lot of people
-Went to a family's house that really showed some promise
-Rode down the Ganga for about 100 miles...it took us 10.5 hours....I'm tired =)
Tomorrow we leave for city #2...it should be a blast.

Not home...but at least stationary....for now

We finally arrived at our destination after a looong day of travel that began around 4am this morning. We settled into our hotel where we will be for about 4 days and got some dinner at the hotel restaurant. Can I just say, amazing! The food was so good after what we've been fed the last few days. It's only 9.15pm here but I think I'm gonna go get some rest. Tomorrow's adventure begins early in the morning and we're gonna be outside all day running all over the city on a scavenger hunt to get acclimated with the city. Should be interesting....
By the way, I am sleeping well these days so thanks to all who lifted that matter up to the Father. Please continue to lift up the days ahead as we prepare to journey into our first city--travelling mercies and receptive hearts.
