How We're Doing In A Nutshell...

So here's what's going on so far...
All the details of our trip are in order. We are set to leave the Edmonton International Airport January 7th at 8:40am, from where we will fly to Toronto then on to Deli, India. We will be staying overnight at a guest house in Deli, where we will meet up with Tim, who is spending Christmas with his parents and brother. From Deli we will all fly to Bhagdogra and take a van up the mountain and arrive in Darjeeling on the 9th. We arrive back in Edmonton 5:00pm on January 29.
When we arrive in Darjeeling we will meet up with Kevin Klassen with YWAM and find out what we will be doing for the next 2 ½ weeks. Our activities will range from evangelism to travelers/backpackers, mercy ministry, music, arts, teaching, prayer and intercession; but we are still unsure what each of us will be involved with individually. Our team will have 1 day off per week and are looking forward to day trips down the mountain on the historical ‘Toy Train’ and possibly going into Nepal for a day.
As you might have heard on the news lately there have been many terrorist attacks in Mumbai. We want to inform you that we are watching the situation very closely. Rob Lewis, our program director is keeping close watch on any travel warnings for Canadians in India. Should the situation deteriorate before we leave we are prepared to cancel our trip. As well YWAM will also be watching closely, and should they feel any threat to safety they will not put themselves or us in danger.
Thanks for checking up on us. We are all excited to continue updating you when we get to India.
God Bless
-Beth
