In Vijayawada
Greetings all from Vijayawada. We have had very limited interenet access since arriving in India.
We were met at the airport by Menno Joel from the Mennonite Brethren Bible College in Shamshabad and hosted wonderfully on the campus of the college. We arrived in Hyderabad at 1:45 a.m. on Thursday morning. The computers at immigration were down, but even though it took a long time to get through we still had to wait on our luggage to arrive at the baggage claim area. Arrive at the Bible College at 3:30 am. Slept for a few hours. Thursday we walked around the Bible college and then went to Sanathnagar to the orphanage where we received Meghana. Enjoyed playing with the 28 girls who are still at the orphanage. They sang for us and showed us their school work. Ended up staying there for about 3 hours because our taxi went to get fuel and there is a truckers strike currently here and fuel is very limited with long lines at the gas pumps.
Took the train on Friday to Guntur where we were met by Nagesh and Koti from the clinic. The train was very crowded as there is a festival right now in India. It was fun interacting with some of the people on the train. A hightlight for me was a little boy, less than 1 year old, with a mile wide who wanted me to hold him which is grandma allowed me to do.
Last night after supper Troy and I walked around the village. It was after dark so it was hard to see, but met several people who I knew from before. Srinu and Moni and thier son Avi Nash, Ajhu, and others.
Troy spent some time observing and working with Bhaskar in the clinic lab this morning before we came to Vijayawada to do some clinic banking and buy some groceries.
My favorite driver, Krishna, was bringing us, but his car broke down on the way... an electrical short. We waited for about 30 minutes on the side of the road before his brother came with another car to pick us up and take us the rest of the way to Vijayawada. I hope that the repair for Krishna is not to difficult or expensive.
I have some pictures that I was going to inlcude in this post, but the comptuer doesn't have a USB port for my flash drive so I will have to save them for later.
Weather is perfect. 65 degree lows with highs in the 80's.
More when we can.
