Alright, so we thought it would be a good idea to let you know that we all arrived back safely in Canada after some very long flights. I'm sure I can safely say that none of our flights were on time, there or back. Fortunately though we never missed a flight nor did we lose our baggage. The children's program went well; always a fun time with the kids. That evening we enjoyed an evening of debrief with YWAM, some of the most unique pizza any of us had ever had, time looking at pictures of the last 3 weeks and a little bit of 'Solomon Island rap'. The next morning before we left we were met by our YWAM coordinator who had a prophetic word for each of us. We were all quite moved and touched at what she had to say. The drive out of Darjeeling was a little bitter sweet for all of us. We were ready to go home but we all left a little piece of our hearts in India. In Delhi we spent some time with Ruth Jensen, our travel agent for this trip who has many strong ties with the school. We all appreciated the little 'taste of home' her and her family offered. Tim was also able to meet up with a friend that he hadn't seen in 6 years. Unfortunately due to our delays they weren't able to spend too much time together before he had to catch his train. They were both thankful for even just the short time though. The flights were uneventful as were customs. We were met with quite the welcoming comity in Edmonton and then made the icy drive home to Camrose. We laughed about all the room in the vehicles... we didn't think they needed two, we could all fit in one! As well, it was almost odd to drive so quietly; no horns! We had another debrief at the school the next morning, a good finale to the trip.
At the moment we are all recuperating from jet lag and preparing for class again on Monday.
We would all like to thank you for all of your faithful prayers and support. We all walked away from this experience learning a little more about ourselves and a little closer to God and each other. We feel we did make a small but mighty impact in Darjeeling and Darjeeling made a huge impact on our lives.
Thank you
God bless
