We arrived in India…less one bag but Jamie’s bag arrived the very next day and delivered right to us!

We are so excited to be back here – and tried to prepare ourselves for the 38C weather – 90 to 100% humidity and power cuts.  Ah  yes, it all comes back to us 🙂

The hospitality and food have been amazing and I’ve already been able to speak at one church service as well as at a ladies group. Later this week we will visit a home for handicap youth as well as do a foot care clinic with a local doctor.

We went on a shopping day yesterday which proved to be another whole new experience.  It was a local day holiday – a day to shop!  For real!  Schools were closed so families could all go shopping for one day sales.  It was a mad house!!  We were able to purchase some clothes and I’ve already taken my saris and punjab suits to get stitched at the tailors….custom made – I like it!

How wonderful to spend some time in Peregian Beach just out of Noosa.  The weather was less than wonderful with day time highs of only about 12C for the most part with one day getting up to 17C – just enough to sit and suntan.

Jamie and Mykee were able to try some surf fishing – which proved to be a failure as far as catching anything due to the fact that the wind kicked up and they were fighting against the large waves most of the time.  Even knocking Jamie off his feet at one point.

We all went to a huge market one day, but for the most part it was a few days of reading and watching movies…snuggled under blankets…just being together…. oh yeah, and watching the boys chase wild turkeys!
