coming home

hey guys, thank you all so much for sticking with us all this time and praying for us. we're back in chennai now, our flight leaves just before 2 in the morning tonight, so then we'll begin our 24 hr journey back home. we're getting back at about 4 in the afternoon from frankfurt on lufthansa tomorrow, so please be praying for safe travel, or meet us there (parents, please feel free to meet us there?).

the last few days have been way intense. we traveled 8 hrs by bus one day way out to another district, and held a "street good news (i would use another word, but security)" meeting late into the night. that was awesome. after journeying back, we walked a few km to another village near chirala, even farther out from where we were staying in the heat of day with little water. it was intense ministering there, the heat is ridiculous here. traveling to chennai was cool, we shared some good spiritual conversation with a guy named vishnu, who helped us get around chennai to our hotel. he was really cool. it was really sad though, because he told us all about how pretty much all indians think americans are like euro trip and american from age 14 onward, and that everyone in the country is Christian, and they're synonymous. its interesting how the media works.

we took it easy today, bought some stuff, ate some stuff, saw a movie (the happening... wouldn't recommend it, we didn't have any choice). and now we're coming home. looking forward to seeing you all, sooner or later. love you all,
mike and eric
