Monday Sabbath

Hey there guys! quick update before i head out to see South Delhi with the Malakars...

i slept just fine, i don't feel like i'll have too much trouble with the jetlag.

I woke up in my hotel FREEZING, though! haha, i couldn't figure out how to turn the fan off... so i went into the bathroom for a bit where there isn't a fan. what a problem to have!

i read this morning through psalms 1 - 4. I love the bit about asking the Lord to let the light of His face shine upon us. I feel like He's truly done that for me, and here i am just basking in the warmth.

I walked out of the hotel with Heather this morning to see an India that's nearly exactly as i would have pictured. dust everywhere, broken buildings, ridiculous traffic (complete with rickshaws), women walking around in saris and salwars, the elder the person, the more elaborate the dress. it's exotic. it's wonderful.

i'm sitting here under the fan at the Malakar home and have already sweated through my undershirt! haha, i'll need to be drinking a lot of water i guess. but again, i'm really not that uncomfortable so i feel extremely blessed.

Monday is the slow day here for the Malakars, so they reserve it as their Sabbath - their day off right after the business of Sundays.

alright, it's chicken and rice time, and off to talk with Heather and Peter.

grace and peace!
