Alright, so it has been quite a while since I last wrote on here. I have been crazy busy. Well, I have had a very days of down time, but not much. I have done a good job this month keeping myself busy. The first half of my month was spent up north in the Himalayan foothills. It was truly a beautiful trip and a huge blessing to be up there. I feel like I really received some renewal from being up in the mountains and getting away from the hustle and bustle of Metro Chandigarh life. The trip up there was long and treacherous, but it was definitely worth the journey. We had some meetings and celebrated Easter together. Perhaps the highlight of the trip was when we hiked up to a waterfall on Easter Sunday. It was a long hike, and I definitely received a workout, but it was worth it. We had a picnic up there with all of our friends. The weather was perfect. It is much different from the 100+ weather that we are experiencing down here, and it is a dry heat, which makes it not as bad as being humid, but it is no walk in the park believe you me.
A few days after We were also privileged to meet with our friend Elbert who came in from the states. We were able to catch up with him which was a huge blessing. Then we finally made it back to Chandigarh after spending a week and a half up in the foothills. We had some friends come down the next weekend, and we ate wild boar, which our landlord warned us to not talk of. Ooops!!! It has been a great month, and I am about to go and stay out in a village for three weeks to learn the language better. It will be quite an experience.
Nice picture of us at the waterfall
