So, since we last wrote, we've all experienced actual Delhi Belly, we were well looked after by John and Abha though and were back at the school after a week of taking rest. God really comforted us in this time especially during our feelings of homesickness, it was so great having John, Abha, Arnold and Christy around watching out for us and praying for us.

We've also managed to have a bit of contact with home, which has definetely been a big help. Whether it be a simple text, email or even a phone call, the things we usually take so much or granted, have become a real comfort for us here.
Our relationships with the kids in our classes really seem to be growing which is great and we are gradually managing to learn some names, which is hard enough usually, never mind here where most of the names we've never even heard of and have some difficulty pronouncing! But we're getting there!

The teaching has definetely proved to be a challenge, especially when we don't speak each others languages fluently, but we all still love it and keep trying to find new and interesting ways to teach the kids.

As we draw closer to Christmas I think we're going to find it quite hard at times and we're really going to have to rely on god to look after us and to comfort us in this time that we usually spend with our families. However, we are SO excited that we're getting to spend New Years with the 2 Kolkatta Action Teams in Darjeeling for our holiday! 36hour train journey (plus very likely delays) here we come...!!

Jamasiki!
