Walking on Water!

Hello all!
As I mentioned before, Celia and I have spent the last week in Mussoorie, near Dehra Dun, on a youth Bible camp along with 8 of the kids from DUF and Kavita, one of the teachers. After a gruelling 20hour journey to arrive at the camp in heat and hail (!), we spent a week participating ni various races and activities, as well as attending seminars and lectures on Faith, and how we can strengthen it etc. It was really interesting and although I didn't expect to, I actually got quite a lot out of it. We made some really good friends there as well, and one of the pastors and his wife have invited me to stay with them when I am in Delhi before flying home.

The other thing I got from Camp is a very sore knee! Typically, whilst running a pretty simple relay race on the first day, I trip and skidded across the concrete, taking off a rather large patch of skin and helping my knee to swell to twice it's size. Well, nearly. Luckily, 3 of the leaders at camp were doctors, so I was well looked after, with poor Abijit having to dress it for me everyday. It's still oozing a bit, but it's a lot better and the only thing I struggle with now is going up and down stairs - not really good when you live on the 4th floor!

But all in all, it was really good; the seminars were really interesting and not at all as you'd imagine, the speakers made it really good fun. The participation in smaller groups and prayer groups was difficult at first as I wasn't really keen on speaking up, but the others in the group quickly became friends and confidantes, and made the experience very worthwhile, despite the fact I missed out on a lot of the bonding during games and treks etc!


So now there are only 27 days left at DUF :(
And 6 weeks yesterday I arrive home.

It's very strange to have to start imagining life at home again.
