Wrapping it up...
Sam George came to our hotel yesterday morning to see us off. After that we headed down the mountain to the airport in some city (forgot the name). I kinda have to throw myself under the bus for a minute here, but Kelly & I found it so funny that after the plane was up in the air for only about 30 minutes, it landed & we thought we were in Mumbai already. We saw everyone stand up to get there bags, we even saw Jeremy stand up, so Kelly & I thought "Oh well, guess we're here" As we went to get of the plane, both Allison & Eric called from behind us & said that this wasn't our stop. I'm glad that they were sitting close to us, cause we would've gotten off in Cochin wondering why our pals weren't getting off! Sorry, I'm not used to planes stopping to let people off like a city bus or a train does. Back in Mumbai now & we went went back to see the kids at Mathews place. It was a secret so when we got there, they were excited. They remembered our names and wanted me to dance with them this little dance that I made up off the top of my head but it was a hit there! I got to see my soccer kids, That's right, I'm on a Mumbai team. We went to the market for just a little bit, like an hour and a half, and headed back. We are all in 1 room right now, we didn't want to pay for all of us to have rooms for just a few hours. We will grab a bite to eat soon & head off to the airport around 10ish for a plane that leaves around 2:30AM.
I'm going to miss this place, the kids, the pastors. Everything. I think the plane right to London wil be better than the one from London to here. I will have plenty of time to go back over many parts and events of this trip. Oh yeah, I have also been given many new names here in India. Since my name sounds like "Tea", I have been called Chai or Chaia, and then on one of my plane tickets my name was "Pia"! I'm shocked that I still remember my real name!
I miss everyone & can't wait to see you all. We have asked God to bless you as you have prayed for us here and for our safe return.
See you real soon.
Much Love
Tia
