June 21

Today is our last full day in Pune. We will travel tomorrow with Michael and Analia to Mumbai by taxi.  They leave early Sunday morning for Thailand for a few days, fulfilling their visa requirement of leaving the country every six months. We will stay in a hotel in Mumbai and leave early Monday morning. Because of time zones, we actually arrive at SeaTac at 11:30 am that same morning,  22 1/2 hours later.  This may be our last entry, though I will try to do one tomorrow morning if there is time.

Yesterday was an amazing day. I fixed pancakes for us all, including a friend who had come to join us for breakfast and a time of worship.  The most exciting "event" of our trip happened during that time, but you will have to ask us  about it when we see you in person due to the sensitive nature of things here.

Please pray for the international food party tonight and for Marla and Analia as they prepare dishes for it today.  Everything takes twice as long here as it does at home -- ask me sometime about showers. Pray also for preparations and travel for both families as we leave Pune tomorrow.
