Well, it took goodness knows how many hours and three flights but ... We made it to Rajahmundry. In many respects India is exactly as I expected it - the smells, the sights and the sounds - being driven along roads with cattle wandering everywhere, rickshaws driving madly. The sight of the fields and the houses (does anyone in India ever seem to finish their house?!). It really does mesmerise the senses and I suppose, at the moment, 12 hours after arriving in Rajahmundry, it's all still a bit overwhelming - there's just too much to take in and so much of it is so challenging to western standards and lifestyle.
So, we arrive at Pastor Prasad's house, eat and have a quick nap and then we're out to our first church visit, this evening. Don't ask me where we went, I have no idea other than it was a significant distance and took us about an hour over some of the most crazy roads ever. I'm never going to complain about the potholes in Cardiff again. The church was no more than four bare walls, a roof and some fans! The place was packed with 60-70 people who were all very excited to see us.

It was an amazing time as we shared and prayed for people. Their desperation for God to touch their lives was humbling. We'll I've got so much to process and don't quite know where to start, but I think the answer to that is ... Tomorrow!
