Je hey!
India is still very hot, but we manage good. The food is also spicy, but we still like it. This week we have worked with this pastor named Daniel in his church planting ministry. Personally I was a bit worried because we have met this guy before, and I guess I got a wrong first impression.
He and his wife took good care of us, gave us good food and not too packed days. They was really funny people as well, and we had lots of fun. During the week we mostly did house visits and prayed for the people in his church and got soda and biscuits and tea and stuff like that. It was really nice for us, and I think we got to encourage them good as well. On Friday (yesterday) we attended a baptism service were we went away out side town to a small lake where a married couple was baptized. Some of us are from Lutheran backgrounds and it was the first time we had attended anything like this. We all liked it I think:)
Tomorrow and Monday we are going away to a smaller town to lead a youth retreat, and on Tuesday we're going north with the train. We have had a great time here, but we all look very much forward to the new experiences we'll get the next weeks when we're going to the mountains.
We're still thankfull for all prayers and other encouragements we get. Please keep it up.
Love and peace from the team trough Anders for real this time.

week 4
Hello everybody!
We are still alive and good in India. We have enjoyed some fun days this week. On our day off on Monday we went swimming at a hotel. We had the pool to ourselves and came back nice and pink! The next day, the staff we are with at the office took us out for a day at a park and yesterday they took us for a city tour of Hyderabad! We went to a zoo and saw elephants, tigers, bears and all that jazz. We ate at a proper indian restuarant which is actually very like the ones at home, only completely packed with Indians. And then we went to see a really big and beautiful fort. We climbed the many steps to the top in the hot hot heat, preperation for the Himalayas I think!
Today the office staff are leaving for a weeks conference in the South. (I think this is why we've been treated this week.) And so for the next few days our team will be home alone! I think we will be doing some prayer walks, helping with some church planting ministry and we will have a youth retreat at the end of the week. However the plans often change around here.
We've had ministry this week too. We have been some more with dts students from Hyderabad, teaching dramas fro their outreach. We have done programme at a couple HIV aids orphanages. I think we all really enjoyed to go their and be with the kids and we made good contact with the leader who was a westerner :) Last night we did slum ministry for prehaps the last time! which was a bit sad i found.
As a team we are doing good. We are very thankful to God who has kept us mostly in good health! God is continually working in us as individuals and as a team. He is the best ever!
God bless from the India team, through Lucy.

Our forth week in India is already started, and it's crazy.
Last week started really tough with ministry in villages outside Hyderabad from the very morning to the evening. Therefor we had some time off the next day and were given an hardly needed breath. Later we finally got to meet more people at our age. Both saterday and sunday we took part in youthmeetings and I think we all were very happy about it. In these days, we are meeting some indian dts students, in fact no more than three, and we are preparing them for their outreach. What a pleasure! It is still very warm, maybe even warmer, and the indian culture hasn't changed a bit after we arrived the country. We are getting used to it, because we have to and because we are here to learn from it, and are therefor getting more relaxad about it. We are happy to stay at one place, where we are able to build some relations.
Please pray for us! For good helth, sleep and for inspiration and wisdom for the coming saturday, we will have a hole day with teaching other people, hopefully about the same age as us.
