On wednesday morining, after a 12 hour wait in dehli, and a 9 and a half hour plane ride we arrived in London. After grabbing our bags, and getting through security we headed to the tube (same thing as a subway). After about a 40 minute ride, we drug our bags up about 3 or 4 flights of steps and met Val at the corner of a street. We walked about ten minutes to our hotel. We had enough time to grab a quick shower and then we had to go the the London team meeting. It sure was nice to eat some good American food for once! After the meeting, mom had a seprate meeting with Jay and Judy, and then with Chad and Beth. I hung out with Val and Carmen and watched Jesse (chad and beths son) After all the meetings were over, we had a night on the town with Carmen and Val.
On Thursday, mom had a meeting with Jay early that morning. I decided to stay back at the hotel and sleep. At around 2pm, we headed out and went to covent gardens to do some shopping at the market. At around five we met Carmen for dinner, and then went to a debate between a muslum and a christian guy. It was about "is Jesus a prophet or the divine Son of God? The muslum man was not very convincing. I could have debated him myself!
On Friday, we got up and met Val to go see Big Ben and have lunch. Before we knew it, it was around 1:30 and time to go back to the hotel, and then to the airport. After an 8 hour flight, we were finally in America again! We met dad and were on our way home. We arrived at our house around 130 am on Saturday morning.
It was such a great exprericance to see all of these countries, and to live like they do for a few weeks. But its good to me home! You will receive another interesting perspective of the India portion of our trip from Ken H's blog at: http://www.kohconsulting.blogspot.com/
Thanks for you prayers and thoughts about us. God really protected us on this trip.

I am so glad you are home, safe and sound. What a wonderful experience you both had!
On a sad note, have you heard the news that Val H.'s sister died last Wednesday? There is a Life Celebration today at the Mount Joy Mennonite church at 2:00.
Thanks again for all the pictures and logs of your trip. It felt like I was there! God bless you!
