I'm in India!

we just got into india tonight. we are staying with Pastor Wankhede in his house. they cooked us dinner tonight and it was very good! it wasnt too spicy either! lol it is definietly warm and humid, but we have fans going everywhere. the misquitoes are out, and im practically swimming in DEET. i am very excited about this summer. the pastor and his wife are very sweet and talk to us about any questions we have.the church is right below where we are staying. it is nice to be so close because we will be attending and doing many things in the church. while at the airport these 2 beautiful girls around 7 and 10 walked up to us asking for money. of course the pastor said not to give them anything becuase they are just learning how to become professional beggers. but i did learn how to say "What is your name" in Hindi from someone on the plane so i asked them. they were pretty surprised i was talking to them. i know i will encounter many of these situatons, but it wont get any easier having to say no. we have tomorrow off to catch up from the jet lag. india is 12 hours ahead of Eastern time.
