INDIA!!!!
I can hardly believe it. I will only tell you bits now because we need to be careful with how we talk about the event I am at, just for safety reasons. Christians in India have been experiencing more and more persecution and they are being extra careful at this event.

Crossing cultures always causes me to look at myself critically and revaluate the world view I function from. Our days here are VERY full and I end up being exhausted from the heat, the input and the strain of interacting with people from a very different culture to my own. The humidity is thick and the heat the first few days was overwhelming. The last few days there has been rain and so the temperature has dropped to a much more bearable level.

I have had the chance to have an Indian suit made. The Indians at the conference were delighted when we showed up looking like this.
The food has been amazing! And so far I have not gotten sick.
I will write more when I am back in Australia.
