A full day under our belts

After coming in around noon on Thursday, and doing our best to stay awake until "bed time", we woke early for breakfast. Not wanting to shock our bellies just yet, we chose a traditional American meal: eggs and toast. We made our way back into town to the school where we had a "watered down" traditional lunch with the students and staff on campus (rice, chicken, and a spicy watery sauce). We sat in on a meeting to get us familiar with what we will be doing here at the school. We then broke up and individually visited mentor groups and pray with the students upon getting to know one another. It's now time for dinner (not really sure what we're eating) and to wind down a bit and acclimate ourselves to the weather and food. We can feel the impending rain in the air and are anticipating some much needed coolness. Please, we ask for your prayers: For continued health (especially Risa who has had some sickness upon landing, unable to keep food down), although today she was much better. For us to understand and decipher the thick Indian-English accent and that they would understand us when we speak. For safety for Adam and Caroline who should be arriving around noon on Sunday (our time). Also that their luggage would make its way here as well. For the students and their studies. They have finals at the end of the month. For our ability to teach the English language to the students who are struggling to learn the language. For sweet friendships to develop while we are here and hopefully we can continue communicating after we leave India and be able to encourage them. Thank you for covering us in prayer... We will blog again soon. Tomorrow will be a day of shopping and we hope to have a memorable experience...
