Our flight itinerary included a layover in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. We decided to go exploring and took this group photo in Damplein (Dam Square). |
| After 31 hours and 36 minutes of non-stop travelling (inclusive of layovers), we arrived at the airport in Hyderabad from Mumbai (Bombay) on a Jet Airways 737. |  |
 |
Our hosts everywhere have been extremely gracious, especially in giving us loads of yummy food to eat. |
| It was a great challenge and amusement to get all fifteen of us, plus our driver, into a little green van. |  |
 |
And you thought traffic in the US was bad? Anyone here can tell you, traffic here is insane. Indian's drive with attitude! |
| What happens when Roberta gets her favourite Indian food at the Kamat Hotel restaurant? Smiles and food-covered fingers all around. |  |
 |
Take a train from Hyderabad to Rajahmundry? No problem. Take all our stuff with us?? Thanks to the strong, skinny men in red on the platform!! |
| Becky, Jocelyn, and Wendy are jolly happy on the train!! What fun. |  |
 |
"One, two, three, four, I declare a thumb war!!" Zac and Richard have a go at it. |
| "Sing with me!" Shawn is one rockin' dude. |  |
 |
Ian looks pretty suave with that guitar, eh? Too bad he doesn't even know how to play!! |
| FOOD, glorious food!! |  |
 |
Eating at the work site in Rajahmundry. |
| Wendy coddles a new-born Indian baby, only 18 days old. Aww!! Aren't they cute? |  |
 |
"We're goin' on a lion hunt!!" Or maybe just a tour of the work site--an old seminary since relocated to Hyderabad. Our project is to refurbish an old building, which will house the Bible Women for living and fellowship. |
| Shawn makes friends with the Indian children. |  |
 |
"Wandanalu Jesu..." This young singer, Araviteja, performs a little tune for us--"Thank you, thank you Jesus" in Telugu. |
| An Indian baby, baptised in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Our crew sang at four different churches that Sunday. |  |
 |
"How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!" (Ps. 133:1 NIV) |
| "Big Giant White Man." Can you guess who? |  |
 |
Our first Henna experience--little blobs of green stuff that makes our skin orange. Neat, huh? |
| Who would've thought that we would be able to publish a web site from India? Our Baptist hosts are connected to the technology, though!! |  |
 |
Becky and Roy survey the work site. |
| Books--a big pile of books--pulled from storage for salvaging and reorganisation. |  |
 |
Zac whacking his way through the wilderness with his sickle. You'd better stay away from this crazy man with his weed weapon! |
