We're In India!

Well, we are in India.  We arrived in Hyderabad at 3:00 A.M. today after 23 hours of flying time.  Anyone who can get much sleep on an airplane has my utmost respect.  ME?  No way.  I feel like I have been in a strait jacket for 24 hours.  Needless to say Elaine and I are feeling the effects even though we slept until 11:00 A.M. this morning. After about 6 hours sleep we are a little "drug out" but ready to go.

Ron, Kyle and Joseph (driver and interpreter) met us at the airport. Of course we saw very little of India driving from the airport in the wee hours of the morning but will post more tomorrow, hopefully with pictures.  We are staying in the home of Kyle and Sophia Clayton.  (Ron and Karen's son.) The impact these people have made and are making in India is truly remarkable.  They have made us feel very much at home and comfortable.  Other members of the team include Ben Rennegar and Robert Hall. All spend full time in this work.

We are going to Ron and Karen's this afternoon for thanksgiving dinner.  Today should give us some time to acclimate to the time and rest us a bit.

I am taking my camera and will try to post pictures of all thats going on in tomorrows post. We will be here in Hyderabad through Friday and then fly to Rajahmundry (the closest airport to Kakinada) Saturday morning. God bless us all in His service.   Jim
