This month is going to be very busy as we're traveling a great deal and will be away from Shillong most of the time. We are leaving here today for West Bengal. Every three years we have a Regional Conference where we all get together, pray and worship, try to hear what God is speaking to our region, and have some encouraging speakers come and minister to us. They are expecting 300-400 people and so its a big deal to all of our staff. Right after that we are taking all of our staff for our first ever Staff Retreat. Dave really wants for us to seek God as a base together and to spend time in worship and evaluation. We also wanted to bless our staff as many of them have really been so faithful and poured out their lives for this place. There are some really small horses that you can ride and so our staff can do that too. We are hoping to strengthen, encourage, and build morale in our people.
Then one of Dave's close friends Aphrezo is getting married in Nagaland and Dave is trying to decide if he can go to that as well on the 22nd. Then December 24th, my friend Liz is coming, hooray hooray!!!! All three of us will fly down to Kolkata to meet her and pick her up and then we will get to celebrate Christmas with her there. I'm so excited for that. We are looking forward to showing her around and introducing her to our life here.
We are not sure about internet access along the way, so we will try to keep in touch, but not sure how often it will be. Happy December!
This will be Kate's first train ride!
