October 25-27

The last three days have been a bit hit and miss on the internet side, but I'm trying to catch up! Sunday morning, I was the guest speaker at City View Church. The translator must have done a good job because I got a favourable review! In the evening, we packed up for our departure to Shillong in the morning. We were able to leave much of our teaching supplies and extra clothing at the hotel in Guwahati, so that lightened our load. We drove up to Shillong on Monday and enjoyed tea and later supper with friends of Ray in Shillong. The trip was a tortuous four-hour climb, but the air is clear and clean; the sky is blue, and the temperature is a moderate 25 degrees. We are relishing the comfortable circumstances. On Tuesday, we took a sight-seeing tour of the area even further south of Shillong. There were many waterfalls to view and zip-lines to consider. One of our crew took a ride on the zip-lines; the rest of us cheered! Wendy considered, but demurred. We got back to Shillong in time for supper out at a restaurant. It's been an enjoyable three days. We have one more day here, then we head back to the heat and smog of Guwahati.
