Hello again.
This time I am bringing you greetings from Madurai! We took an overnight sleeper train from Chennai to get here. We are staying at Tamil Nadu Theological Seminary. There are palm trees lining the paths, an amaing out door chapel and much more...many of us are thinking of just staying here to finish our degrees! :o)
I am sorry that we have not posted any photos yet. We have only been able to go to internet cafe's and the computer that I am using now does not have a USB drive in it for me to upload from my camera. I have my MacBook Pro with me but we have not found wireless internet. :o( So hopefully I will have something for you. But son't you worry because I think that every one here has a camera and so when we see something awesome there are at least 15 photos taken at the same time. I know that when we return we will have so many photos and stories to share. As for video...I LOVE my new camera! I have taken about 6 hours worth of amazing video. (amazing because we are in such a beautiful place...not because of me!)
Yesterday we were able to go to a Hindu Temple in Madurai and I am sorry but I don't remember the name of it. But I was very humbled to be in such a place of reverence. Beautiful colors, detailed stones and many people worshipping.
That is all for now. Time is money here...
Peace to all of you as you read this...may you be Blessed!

From snowy,cold St.Louis, a warm greeting to our fellow travelers in India. We miss you, but really enjoy the blog entries. You students seem to be really engaged: what our those two professors doing? January classes are going well. In chapel we hold you all close in prayer. Be safe. learn, see, grow, experience -- everything. Blessings, Marilyn
ReplyDeleteDear pilgrim -- Namaste to you and all your companions. It is good to hear that you are all well, especially today as the earthquake in Haiti is being revealed as the catastrophe it is, reminding us all of the hazards of being alive. We are anxious for the deep serious blog entries you promised, although as my colleague Marilyn says, we love to hear anything and everything. Weather is improved, work and searches continue, Clint is leading chapel this week and today had the communion table all covered with models of Noah's ark. Take care; bring the spirit of all you are learning home to us and the Church. xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of you and missing your spirits and flesh here, but hope that you are becoming new creations. Be well and safe.
