Namaste Vineyard family, 

Sadly, our mission trip is coming to a “see ya later!” Tuesday AM we checked out of our hotel in Tadepellegulun and headed over to a local pastor’s house for yet another awesome breakfast!  The hospitality here is top tier! After breakfast we had a 2 hour drive to the airport to catch a flight back to Delhi. Once we landed, we went straight to a market to do some shopping. It was a little overwhelming as you are approached by street vendors from all angles! Those street vendors can be very persistent. After the market, we were fighting good ‘ole India traffic to get to our hotel (it took 90 minutes to go 13 miles!) After a quick baggage drop off, we headed to Pastor Abraham’s house for dinner. . 

Our official last day (Wednesday) started off with a light breakfast at our 3rd hotel of the week.  We then made our way to visit the Christ for India  school and church in Delhi.  The students of the school put together a short program for us. The students sang, danced, shared the history of India and others recited scriptures all by memory. The program literally had Paula in tears of joy. The students  are so adorable and so well mannered. 

We were welcomed with flowers (I’ve gotten more flowers this week than I’ve gotten in my whole life) fresh coconut water and food from different parts of India.  

We were given a tour of the school and the church. Both building are beautiful. They are hoping to increase their students to 600 by this  July, God willing, and through donations they would be able to add a third floor. 

It’s been an amazing week, a lot of traveling so our bodies are tired but it was worth it!  Thanks for the prayers but please continue to keep us in your prayers as we start our long journey home late tonight.
