PICTURES!!!

Finally! Pictures!

I finally had time and an internet connection that works! Enjoy my first month in India!

First is tea break at the MCC India office in Kolkata. Can you believe it, mom? I like tea!

Next is me with Pratima, who works at MCC India in finance and administration.

We left Kolkata after only 2 days to get to Ranchi for Youth Sunday. Here are some of the youth singing and dancing. It was a very good service that lasted all day!

Our flat in Ranchi

My flatmate, Liz, cooking over our one-burner "gas." It takes a long time, but we've been able to cook some pretty tasty dishes already!

This is the road to our flat.

The MCSFI office.

This is one of the streets in Ranchi that we use the most. It's really not busy in this picture.

Inside the office. On the right, Amy. On the left, front to back is Priti, Sonwani Uncle, and Liz.

I was invited back to Kolkata to help with the MCC Asia Regional Meeting for New Wine/New Wineskins. I met people from all over Asia that work with MCC offices or in partnership with MCC.

One of the table discussions that happened during the week.

Some of my new friends... He Wen from China, Retno from Indonesia, Tiya from Indonesia and Kyong Jung from South Korea.

Banyan tree at the botannical gardens. This is all one tree!

At the end of the week, we all went on a riverboat cruise on the Hooghley.

Don't you just love finding random lizards crawling on your bedroom wall? I know I do!
