Thank you so much for your prayers. I had a great trip back to Calcutta and met a lot of interesting people along the way too.
Here's a little excerpt from my diary about my first day back that I'd like to share with you...
Sunday morning-
This is my first day back, and it already feels like home again. In fact it almost feels like I never left. This morning it's pouring like crazy which is no surprise seeing as it's Monsoon Season. I'm actually about to head off to church in this mess. But it will definitely be worth it to be in God's presence and to praise Him with my friends who I haven't seen in over two months. I've got a feeling that it's going to be an awesome day!
Sunday afternoon-
One of my biggest fears about coming back to Calcutta was loneliness since I was pretty sure all the Project Rhino volunteers would have dispersed. To my surprise Jobin was still around since they decided not to send him off to the village learning center which is 3 hours south of Calcutta. In light of friendship, today was actually nation Friendship Day, so everyone has been going around wishing each other Happy Friendship Day and sending out cheesy, sappy friendship texts. Today I got to go out for lunch with 5 friends, some old and some new. I feel like everything is already falling right back into place. God is already answering my prayers and providing me with an abundance of friends. After lunch my friends needed to head back to the church early for worship practice before the evening service. I was planning on just walking home from church, but my street had been replaced with a river that flooded knee high. It really wasn't a big deal since I could just hang out at church until the evening service, but I do regret not packing my blue and pink polka-dotted galoshes.
So there you have it folks! A day in the life of Kari Westlund. Aaber dekha hobe - See you later!
