MADE IT!!

fyi I'm alive! The plane ride was a quick 14 hours. We arrived Thursday night and the first thing Tori and I did was make mac and cheese we brought with us (thanks mom!)...India is 10.5 hours ahead of Florida! Our little apartment is really nice. Tori and I share it with other family members that are visiting the pastor who is taking care of us. Most people in America have never seen anything like it though. The toilet is a hole in the floor.. haha. And though its cold showers, we have a microwave to heat up the water, which we then pour in a bucket, which we then pour on ourselves.
New Delhi is a huge city. There are people everywhere. And it is loud. Even living on the 5th floor, we can hear a million things at all hours. And it is dusty. Even the trees look dirty. But it is still surprisingly beautiful. I havn't seen any elephants yet, but I think I heard one last night.
Yesterday we saw a lot of the city. We travelled around with Eunice, the pastor's wife, who is amazing. I think we are going to be spending a lot of time with her while we are here, which I don't mind at all! After we got home yesterday, Tori and I were so tired that we walked into our room and completely passed out. I woke up this morning still in my shoes and everything. We were supposed meet up with friends of the family for our first Indian meal later that night, but I guessed we missed everything.. haha. Today is Saturday, which is fun because the kids don't have school. So we will hang out with them the majority of the day. All the kids from the orphanage are staying with us and Pastor Daniel, and some other friends for now because the police ran everyone out a few days ago. But hopefully this week the kids can move back in. Daniel told us today that we will be working at 4 slum schools and the orphange during the week. Can't wait to get started. Just wanted to give a little update.. hope everyone is dong well back home!
Learned our first Hindi word... tike means "that's good" haha
Love love love,
