arrival

well...i'm here.

after a week of training in colorado, i was on my way to mussoorie, india. a day of plane rides and another day of train and car rides have brought me here, and the himalayas are amazing! i've spent the last week walking up and down the mountain getting to know the area and some of the local people, and in group discussions and (rather humorous) role playing exercises getting to know the indian and eMi office culture. so far, so good!

i believe we'll start work later next week, which, as much as i've enjoyed training, is something that i must say i'm eager for. i'm also looking forward to finding a local ch-rch and some local min-stries that i can join with during my time here. I was able to attend a small cell group meeting last week and hear the stories of some local friends. What an encouragement!...and what a difficult road they have ahead of them as they try to share the hope, joy, and deliverance they have received with those in the surrounding villages.
Once things get into more of a routine, i'll think i'll have more to share. until then...
