Hey everyone. So here's whats been going on since you last heard from us. We had our orientation Saturday morning with our YWAM hosts. We learned what we will be doing during our time here. On sunday we walked around Darjeeling and the girls bought kurtas for the church service at 3 pm. It was an english service but we were the only ones there. There are two men that work at the Grace Inn where we are staying that set up the electric bass and guitar. They asked us if we played; Matt on drums, Tim and Florian took turns on bass and guitar and the girls sang. One of our hosts also showed up, but baisicly it was a worship jam session with our team. Today we went on a prayer walk and prayed for the different temples, churches and mosques. We have been really enjoying the food, mostly Momo's which are pretty much a stuffed, steamed dumpling. They serve almost every meal with a sort of butter soup with little bits of vegtables and cilantro. The people are very friendly, they almost always smile back. the weather has been kindof cool and damp, no problem for us, but quite cold for the locals.
We have a pretty chill few days ahead hanging out in Darjeeling before we head out to the first village called Chotahatta where we will be working with a church running a childrens program and going to house meetings. That will be for 4 days before we head out to MIM where we will be renovating a daycare center on one of the tea plantations. We will be there for most of our time in India and will come back to Darjeeling for one day of good old debrief then we will be heading back home.
We probably won't be able to keep you updated while we are in the villages. It's quite uncertain when we will write again. We ask that you would pray for continued health for our team, the people we are going to encounter, and for YWAM's service in the city.
Thank you for your prayers, we are praying for you also.

Dear Jeelings:
Have a wonderful time in the villages. Pray as you wander the streets & travel the roads. May God's kingdom be ushered into this part of the world through your involvement and prayers,

God is working in and around you. It's amazing to think what those prayers on your prayer walk will turn into.
Much love from Canada. May God give you peace and continued health and strength!
