When we walked off the plane Hudson’s first words were, “these walls are rusty and old.” It was an old jetway and Hudson has a lot to learn about the developing world.
This last week of life has been a virtual whirlwind for our family, here is the rundown:
· On Friday (Jan 8th) we were told that we could not get an employment visas, but that our passports could be returned to us in time for us to leave as scheduled for India.
· On Saturday (Jan 9th) we moved all of our things into a 1-car garage sized storage unit. Thanks to everyone who could come and help. It was crazy in those few hours so it was hard to thank you each personally. We could not have made the move happen so fast without each of your help.
· On Sunday (Jan 10th) we were able to finish up some odds and ends.
· On Monday (Jan 11th) we successfully departed for India.
The flights went surprisingly well and we were able to keep cruising when we arrived a little late to Delhi and our driver said, “why don’t we just drive to Mussoorie tonight?” So after a 15 hour flight we drove through the night and reached Mussoorie at 8am this morning. Jetlag is taking over and we have all been struggling to stay awake so that we can have a shot at sleeping through the night. Thanks to all of you for thinking of us and for praying. We’re thanking God for a good safe journey to our new home on the cusp of the Himalayas.
After four hours of driving we stopped for chai at a roadside tea stall. Our family is pictured with our driver, Mr. Sing.
