Bev and I spent a couple of days last week in Darjeeling and it was really unlike any place that I've been before. There are a large population of Tibetans there because many chose it as a place of refuge as they fled China. It is very much a tourist destination and there were so many foreigners there. Worldwide, Darjeeling is known for it's tea and we saw multitudes of tea gardens on the hills. It is quite lovely. It's quite high in the mountains and covered in dense fog. We had a hard time looking very far as the fog covered all the surrounding mountainsides.
Houser had a leadership meeting nearby and so we met up with him later and had several meetings in a nearby city. It seems like so long ago that all of this happened and we have travelled so much in these past few days. We have safely reached Shillong and have a couple of days here before leaving again. Houser was requested to give the sermon this morning at church and then we participated in the Global Day of Prayer here in Shillong this afternoon.
