• It's been awhile since I posted. Right now I am in Robertsdale, AL with Caleb & Cecilia. We are staying with my mother-in-law, Ann. 

  We came down to bring Cody.  He is currently on a 10 day trip to India!  Very exciting and I plan to put more about it after he gets home!  He was to be in Crestview FL which is about 1 1/2 hours away from here, Monday morning at 3:45.  Cody & I got up at 1:50 am and then left the house by 2.  We arrived there around 3:20 and then waited for the rest of the team to gather.  Some of them did not show up until 3:55.    They were to leave there no later then 4:00 but it was more like 4:13 when they left.  they made it to Fort Walton and made their flight.  next stop was Houston and then on to Newark.  They are currently on the flight to New Dehli.  They  should arrive there about 9:45 am our time (CT) Tuesday, and it will be around 8:15 pm there in India. The next morning they will take an 8 hour train ride to their next destination.  Apparently travel by cars can be very very dangerous there. 

  Please pray for Cody,  this can be a life changing experience.  When in our meeting with the group though on Sunday, I realized it is also potentially very dangerous. Christians are often persecuted there.  And to them most tourists from the west are considered to be "christian".

   They are not allowed to drink the water there.  "do not open your mouth when showering, do not brush your teeth with the water, do not rinse your toothbrush with the water....."  They are not to eat  veggies or fish or anything from street vendors.  I sent along things like granola bars, jerky, tuna, cranraisins & nuts.  He will not starve but he may feel like it!!  May be a little thinner when he gets home too.  (not that he has any excess anyhow!)

  So we are visiting here, while waiting for him to get back.  Hoping to do some helpful chores for Ann while I am here.  Yesterday I bush hogged for an hour and a half or so.... We will see what today brings!
