After 25 hours of travel and a short night's rest (5 hours), we were given a tour of The Bible League offices in Chennai and welcomed like royalty!

Then came lunch time. (Yes, I actually ate until I was full).

Followed by a 6-hour train ride to Trichiripalli, where we were greeted again with more beautiful roses (yes, they are real).

Tomorrow begins our 2 days of training with the church planters. I'd appreciate your prayers, as I've never taught through an interpreter.
