Days two and three

Its crazy being across the planet, i'm still having a hard time thinking that its morning here and evening there, though this is the smallest of the differences, here quite literally Everything is different, the cars, the roads, the buildings, the people, the soda, everything has a different flavor, though it all seems to have a western feel to it.

On my second day in India we went back to the Good Shepard campus and saw yet another way of how the spirit was working in ways we didn't expect. We came again in the middle of a session and from what a gathered what was happening is they were teaching on baptism, and it turned out that many ha not been baptised, so they gathered them all on stage and decided to baptise them that day. Now this sparked some controversy that i don't have time to go into detail on but long story short they could not baptize them on the campus. So they went a few miles away to do the baptism, it was awesome seeing the joy in the room when this man named Kumar called them to baptism. The baptism itself was video taped on my dads video camera and i'll post it as soon as i can :)

After that we met with Surujit, a master trainer, and talked with him for quite a while, he is going to be supported by a church in the states that my dad is associated with so we shot some video of him telling us what he was about and why he was doing what he was doing, very cool stuff.
One other thing that i have observed is that India seems to run on a drink called Chai, a very hot very sweet tea that they serve every day whether it be 60 or 130 outside they roll out the chai.


The next day was very uneventful, I woke up feeling like i had a flu, I wasn't too bad off, but i dint leave the house much that day, Except for lunch :) We went to a muslin restaurant named Karim's were their slogan is 'The secrete to good mood, a taste of Karim's food' and they were not far off. This was a hole in the wall place by any standard, and the food was amazing, we met a man there named Depok who is a pastor with a vision for church planting. We had food like Afghan chicken, and butter chicken, and a mutton stew, all very good, and as a cruel joke our friend Randy decided to get us a drink known as 'Lassi' its pronounced 'lussi'. He described as a 'Yogurt type vanilla drink, now to get the best flavor you need to really take a deep gulp' Thankfully i only had a sip, i can only describe its flavor as a sour cream and spoiled milk shake, i do not recommend this drink, Beware o.O

Later that day we had house church at Randy's with a few of his friends, it was good, very much different from what i am used to.

God is doing incredible things here in India, Every day he is showing me something new, i'll try to keep you posted, we are leaving Randy's house today and i don't know when i'll have Internet again but i'll keep you posted when i do.
