Hyderabad is crowded, noisy, and mostly friendly.

Here's my view from a mini-taxi. There are no road laws in Hyderabad. Crossing a street in Hyderabad is like playing Frogger except more air pollution. I found a restaurant yesterday with food that doesn't burn holes through my intestine. Chicken Kandahar is my friend. =) Have you heard the stereotype that Indians are great at hospitality but bad tippers? It's true. The people I'm visiting with go out of their way to make me welcome, walking around with me, or fetching me coffee, or showing me to restaurants. Then after dinner at the restaurant when I pay the bill they usually take half the tip I leave and put it back in my wallet. =)

He Googled my name and found my address. God Bless the Internet! The first two groups of students got back from their trips to Key West and Brazil this past Friday. Seeing how much these young people have matured spiritually gives me more confirmation that I'm in the right place. I can see the changes in attitude towards their faith and increased priority to follow Christ and it makes the 14 hour days worth the effort. Also Getting 90 minutes a day of prayer and reading is a lot easier than I thought it would be with our 14 hour days. Being in a community that supports that kind of thing is so awesome! I'm reading a great book called "Intercession: Thrilling ...
