Am taking to my keyboard after a very long time! The frustrations with my computer abound these days. I am hoping that I can get this posted successfully. I have been thinking from time to time that I should post since my arrival back in the US on Mar 20, 2013. After reading my last post, I am more firmly resolved to do so!
I DID get the residents of Anandoloy and Pauline Bhavan their Bibles at the 11th hour! At 7 p.m. the night before my departure from Kolkata, the young man from OM Books arrived with the English Bibles!!! They were refusing to unload the truck because of a religious festival, but the schools and shops were open. I told the young man that he just HAD to get the Bibles for me. The residents of both projects were thrilled. The Bengali Bibles were delivered the next day, and Premila personally delivered them for me!
My week in Mumbai was stressful, but the highlight was meeting with Andi and Sheba who work among HIV/AIDS patents. I have known Andi since he was a toddler. What a blessing!
The first night at the Mumbai airport, I didn't get on the flight. The Lord really watched over me, got me a room where I could not only sleep, but the next morning I also got all that I needed! Those things included a cyber cafe, an ATM, and a place to add minutes to my phone. The 'strangers' at the hotel could not have been more helpful! I got on the plane the second night, and though I didn't get Business Class, I was able to sit in Economy Comfort! Those four inches do make a big difference.
Adjusting back has its challenges. Life is challenging, though, isn't it!?
