From Bill Petersen – September 10

I left Dubai at 10pm on Sunday night and arrived in Delhi three hours later, but with the time change it was 2:45 am. When I went to check in for my 6:40am flight to Calcutta, I was told that it had been cancelled and that I would need to take the 9:40am flight. The problem was that there is only one flight a day from Calcutta to Bagdogra and the 9:40am flight wouldn’t get me there in time.

This is when your prayers really kicked in – I get a full refund on the cancelled flight and found another flight that goes direct from Delhi to Bagdogra. However, because this flight is with a local carrier . . . my two checked bags were overweight. This is where my prayers joined with your prayers…the ticket agent looked at me, did a head nod and said “no problem.”

Also, it was really handy to have an Indian cell phone with me. I was able to call Themrei and let him know I would be arriving on a different airline one hour later. While I was in the airport, I also confirmed our hotel reservation for the trip home. I had a bad experience with Delhi once and I don’t want to have it happen again.

Okay–everything went well in the final flight and it is now about 6:30pm and I am ready for a good night’s sleep. My meetings with LTC and SAS leadership and pastors will take most of Tuesday and then I will be out in the villages on Wednesday through Friday, inviting believers to next week’s discipleship training.

Thank you for praying.
