Namaste!

Namaste! (Hello in Hindi)

Just to say we’ve arrivied safely and beginning to settle in. John and Abha (our hosts) and family are so lovely and very welcoming.
Our flat is ok – very basic with intermittent electricity and vert thin walls so we can here everything going on!
We’ve learnt a bit of Hindi and have been wearing our Salwars (or suits as they call them). The food hasn’t been too spicey (yet) and the weather is hot!!
Yesterday we visited the village school that Anusaran run. It was great to finally meet some of the girls and see where we start teaching on TUESDAY!!! I’m going to be teaching about 30 6 – 8 year olds (prayers for this would be good please!)
Today is Diwali, so celebrations and LOADS of fireworks all round.

Just a short one for now, but don’t forget to check our blog on the BMS website!
