Hello all,
I just returned from Dehra Dun from a Saturday in Rishekish a smaller town Northeast from here. It was a pretty interesting time we went hiking, saw a holy celebration called Aarti, and toured the city. It is definately the tourist type of town, even some people from India were tourists (well sort of). It was funny; some of the people saw us and wanted to take pictures with us just because we were Americans. Our hike was beatuful and rainy and the celebration was enjoyable too. The bad part was our roomate got really really sick with food poisoning or something. So bad they had to send an Ambulance in the middle of the night from Dehra Dun and it took them about an hour and a half to get there. His name was Alex so if you would like to pray from him you can join me in that. However, he is feeling much better and I plan to go visit him soon after this. Just a side note, no I do not feel sick if any of you are worried. We're actually going to go to Than Gaon tonight which is a much safer place in terms of what you could get sick of (the other studens who were there didn't get sick at all). In fact, the funny thing is that no one but the people in Dehra Dun got sick. Which is funny because the other 12+ students are worried because they are in Dehra Dun this week. Hopefully they'll have better luck than we did.
Unfortunately for all you Than Gaon is out there in no mans land and I will be out of internet contact for the duration of next week. But the good thing is I'll finally have some downtime to write about all the stuff that is around here and to finally have time to reflect on things. Sorry I haven't had time to call home Mom and Dad, the only times I can call you is either early in the morning or late at night. Expect a call sometime this morning as when I get settled in Than Gaon I will try to call. Not really sure how phones work out there. If you do not hear from me it will be solely be because the phones don't get reception out there.
So many things to talk about and so little time. I am out of here soon but I would just like to thank those who posted on my message board. To be honest I am getting homesick already which is why I had to stuff my face in Oreos today but hearing from you whatever it is makes me feel good. Please continue sending me stuff so I have something to look forward to when I get on the computer. Hope everyone is doing well hope to write to you soon.
