Here at last!

Wow, whoever told me that I should get my drivers license for when I go to India hadn't seen Indian driving techniques! :) To say it is crazy is an enormous understatement. I had a long trip, but blessed. Despite getting my bags checked in one minute before cut-off in Atlanta, having to check one of my carry-on bags in NY (at first the guy told me it would cost $123, but I prayed that the Lord would change his mind and he looked at me and said, "Here's a better way. Just check it in at the gate. It will be free." !), and then getting lost in the first Indian airport I landed at. Did I mention that on the flight from NY to India I sat across the isle from 10-month-old quadruplets? Adorable, though! Yes, it was a looonngg flight. Those 14 hrs., 45 min. felt like an age! But finally everything worked out, Jacob Wayd met me in Calcutta, and I got my first taste of Indian traffic! :) 

The children here are great, and I can't wait to get to know them better. God bless each of you and thank you soooo much for your prayers!
