there and back again



We have arrived safely back in Shillong after a long journey. Our train was delayed by six hours and so we hung out for a good chunk of time in the train station. We had a really good time in Siliguri, and yet somehow I'm thankful to be home.

We have come home to a much fuller base as most of our staff have returned from their holidays. We are starting a new Discipleship Training School (DTS) on Jan. 25th which is only a week away. This week there is a lot of staff training going on and everyone is just getting ready for the students to come.

Houser and I have been invited to a very good friends wedding in Aizawl, Mizoram on the 25th. Houser had been asked previously to speak at a church there as well, so we will be leaving Shillong again very soon. The journey is about 12 hours by Sumo (a big jeep sort of thing) and we may be leaving as soon as this Saturday. We have so many different things planned in these next three months and so much travelling to do. Anyway, right now it feels so good to be home. Home, sweet home.
