homeless in delhi–>home to america

we found ourselves in a rather difficult situation when we arrived in delhi:  our flight to amsterdam was overbooked and due to our late connection from kolkata, our seats ended up filled and the gate was shut on us.  due to lack of communication on behalf of the KLM flight staff and the apparent chaos that seems to hover over india, we were left on our own to handle the situation… well, not exactly alone.  as frusterating, hopeless, tiring and unfair the situation was, we serve a God who is able to work all things out for the good of those that love him.  and he did.

we got split up on different flights and different days, but 4 days later than expected we are all now safe and sound in minnesota enjoying a very much shortened debriefing time together before graduation night.

words are difficult to find to sum up the feelings of being home from an experience like the one we have had.  One always comes home from things like this with new perspectives of the world around them, sometimes a lot of questions, a lot of stories, a lot to think about.  its hard to go back to the way things always were before you left them, i know that much.  to suddenly be thrown back into life in america after experiencing life in a place like India is a difficult transition.  but God who has been faithful to us, and given us strength to do everything-he will be faithful to us now to give us the strength for what waits for us in our lives here at home.

thank you once again to everone for praying for us.  our adventure has come to a final close, though the things God did will stick with us forever.  the students will be graduating thursday night the 25th here at the ywam campus if you’d like to come and hear a few stories!
