This is India

We are officially here! 4 airports, and 36 hours later, we finally have arrived in Delhi! We are very grateful, because the flight was very easy, and I actually got a significant amount of sleep. During the last leg of our flight however, we awoke to a "pleasant" surprise.

We got off in Delhi, flew through customs, grabbed our bags, and jumped in the van. Our driver assured us that he knew where our hostel was...... We learned quite quickly that he had no idea where to go. After driving the wrong way down one-way roads, multiple 5 point turns into on coming traffic, a few stops on the side of the road to ask for directions, we began to assume that he did not in fact know where we were going. Then we ran out of gas. The funny thing however was that our driver tried to play it off like nothing was wrong. We were in neutral slowing down (AC died), and he promptly assured us that we were just "going slow." Then we stopped, and he just sat there as if nothing was out of the ordinary! We finally convinced him that something was wrong, and he set off to retrieve some diesel. We all got out of the van, and experienced Delhi's monsoon season, as it began to POUR rain... on top of my bags that had been placed on the roof of the van. 30 mins later he returned and we went set out on our way. This is India, and I love it.

Please continue to "remember" us, as we are overseas. I will be preaching this Sunday, which will be completely worthless if he is not with me. Thank you for all your support!
