I always love Sunday mornings

There is a little brown man that lives outside our window that blows his whistle and hits two large sticks together from sundown to sunup... atleast thats the image I have in my brain of him. Seriously, if our window wasn't grated, Tori and I would have thrown everything in our suitcase down there by now, trying to hit him and make it stop. Sometimes he'll stop for a few minutes and we will look at each other, hoping...but then he'll start up again and we'll both groan as loud as we can at the same time.
IN OTHER NEWS... the past two days have been great. Yesturday our friend Attu took us on a real tour of the city. We went to Delhi Haat, which is a market that has booths and food from almost every state in India. So we got to see the different tribes and cultures found in this huge country. It was a very touristy area so it was the first place where Tori and I didn't stand out so much. We also saw parliament and the presidents house and India gate. India gate is a huge memorial for the fallen soldiers in ww2. It was all very impressive. Everywhere people are begging or selling. People will come right up to your face and not leave you alone.
And I still cannot describe to you how crazy the traffic is. Oh, there are lines and lanes, but they are invisible to everyone. And when you are trying to travel somewhere it takes 1000 times longer to get there than it would in the US. And there aren't just cars on the road, there are school kids walking, and bicycles, and carts, and bicycles pulling carts, and monkeys, and dogs, and cows, and beggers, and motorcycles, and 5 people and a baby squeezed on a motorcycle, and trucks... its pure chaos. I have yet to see one accident though, maybe its because even though your never more than centimeters from someone else, you are never traveling more than 5 miles and hour. Usually you are sitting in traffic, and then the driver slams on the gas, then harder on the break... haha it makes me carsick just thinking about it! Also, anyone and everyone is laying on their horn for any and every reason. You could pretty much stand outside your car and scream at the top of your lungs and still no one would even turn to look at you because the traffic musical going on around you is that loud... in other words its fun.
We had church this morning and it was awesome. Tori and I dressed in our Indian clothes. We were told we looked like true Indians, dressed in white skin. A visiting preacher came to speak and he talked about the glory of God and Ephesians 1:16-19. It was hard to get past the language barrier, even with the person next to us trying to translate in our ear. The congregation is so loving though, and pretty big. I loved seeing everyone with their bibles circling and writing and digging into the Word. Its so funny that even on the otherside of the world, I have so much in common with these people. Our love for Jesus is the same, and that similarity is enough for them to consider Tori and I family. We are getting to know the kids a lot better too. Pastor Daniel has two adopted children that are 2 and 6. And also his sister in law, Isolet, (she is staying the same apartment as us) has 2 young children. We all went to lunch after service, it kinda reminded me of being back home, with the little ones driving us crazy, and the adults trying to have normal conversations. Isolet's daughter is 2 and she reminds me so much of Renee. I love it!
I still have yet to eat a real Indian dinner.. that might be a good thing I'm not sure haha. Everything is spicy here.. even if you order is without spice, even if it isn't "Indian" food. Last night we had KFC, which was still spicy. And we've eaten Chinese food a few times already, still spicy. I was really surprised to see the influence the Chinese culture has here. Everyone loves Chinese food. And there are a lot of people from places like Napal and Mongolia living here. I guess that Asian flare is worldwide! :)
Tonight we are going to see Slumdog Millionaire at a movie theatre with the family...so excited.
While you guys should just be waking up.. I've already had a full day! Tomorrow we will hopefully be starting work at the schools.
Love love love,
Kate
