Today was our last day in India, and a very cool one. We started out the morning by going to the AG school and Craig spoke in their assembly. We all introduced ourselves. The principal told us there were more than 1400 students in attendance, it was awesome! Then we headed to the church staff morning devotion, were we again introduced oursleves. They welcomed us and gave each of us Indian garlands. It was very sweet.

We had a few hours until what we thought was a late lunch, and I went with Lenelle, Angela, and Esther to my favorite market in Kolkata, Gariahat. We got a text while we were shopping that we needed to return to the hospital because the CEO wanted to take us for lunch. He took us to an absolutely amazing hotel called the Taj Bengal. He then gave us all a print of a photo that the team had taken at the Floatel where we ate on Sunday. The CEO is an amazingly gracious man, and a true Godly leader.

We then had some free time in the afternoon, and although I expected to get a knock on my door asking me to go shopping, there was none. It seems the whole team was tired, and almost all of us slept the afternoon away. We had planned on going to a light and sound show, but it was outdoors, and the monsoons caused it to be cancelled. So we had dinner here at the hospital. Mr Prasad (CEO) showed up again, and brought us more gifts. We each received a picture book of the work that Mercy Hospital is doing. It was a very sweet gesture.

We’re leaving at 8.30am tomorrow for Bangkok, Thailand. I’m really excited to be heading home, I miss my beautiful wife and little boy. I can’t wait to see them. We’ll be in Bangkok for two days, and get to meet with a friend of mine who I consider a man who walks very close with God.
