Safely in India

Thanks for all your prayers, and please, keep praying! I arrived
in India around 2:00 a.m. and that went well. The driver from my hotel was
waiting for me, so that was great. The room was shabbier than I expected,
but the bed was comfortable and there was a bathroom, so that was good.
However this afternoon just going to the train station to get a ticket was
somewhat overwhelming. It's very crowded and people approach you all the
time and there are all kinds of vehicles (not just cars, all kinds) and then
the occasional cow walking down the street (actually I think theyre pretty
cute). I couldnt get a ticket for the train I wanted, so Ill be spending
an extra night in Delhi. That cuts short my time in Varanasi, but thats
okay. So anyway, please continue to pray for my safety, I'll be on the
train alone for over 50 hours (that's two separate trips, one short, one
long) plus a 12 hour lay over in Mumbai (Bombay). Pray also that I don't
get discouraged or too overwhelmed. Thats it for now-
