Well we are officially gone!!!....34 hours of traveling...with a few hic-cups along the way, we got to Hyderabad and were checking in for our next flight, and they had no record of us. Somehow, orbitz/american had dropped that last leg of our trip, even though we had a confirmation for it. So after much deliberation/discussion with the airlines, we ended up buying 2 more tickets. So we have some work to do for reimbursement!
Otherwise all is well, we are adjusting to the warm climate, and different time zone...that will all come I suppose.
We did sit in on a Christian Exploration class today- with some of the stonecrusher children, they were 4 girls(see photos below) that were learning to be a seamstress, they had sewing machines- ancient ones...with a foot pedal. They also learn to embroidery. One girl was married, I am sure she was only 14 or 15. They could not speak English, so the class was translated. Randy went this afternoon with the boys swimming class...held in a hotel pool nearby...I napped as I was suffering from a bad headache...adjusting to the heat I think. We will send more later!
