It was day off for the
team. The team was complete with M*i coming back from
another city last night.  We were already packed up mid
morning to get ready to check out by 11
am.  
M*shi's parents treated us to a home-cooked
lunch brought over to us at the Center.  His mother
even gave each team member a souvenir. She prepared
crepelike chapati (matta dosa), steamed rice cakes (idlis),
chicken stew with ginger, bananas cooked in its sauce which
you can drizzle with coconut milk, 2 vege dishes one with
moringa or what the locals call "drumstick", honey
if you want for the bananas.  You can wet your matta
dosa with the vege stew.  They made sure that the food
was still warm when served and carefully packed every dish
container with saran wrap.  M*shi's parents were
very hospitable and kind. We almost devoured
everything!  We offered them some pastries from a new
restaurant next door to show our appreciation for their
hospitality. They also came to the graduation day and even
joined in with the dance moves to the children's
songs.  They're cool!!We really like
them.  
Tim treated us out to see a movie in a nearby
mall to watch the "Avengers: Infinity War" in
3D.  We even had popcorn!  Next, we went to a
restaurant to have our dinner before going to the
airport.  We enjoyed our dinner very much.  We
were fully stuffed  from breakfast, lunch and dinner!
What a treat!!!  We thank Tim for all his hospitality
to the team!
By 10:30pm, we were at the airport to wait for
our check-in starting at 12:30am.  While waiting for
our flight, M*i and I were able to have tea time and pr*.
D*d and E*ene were able to snooze a little bit and also a
bit of computer time. Our flight departed for Abu Dhabi at
4:35am pretty much on time.  The second leg of the trip
from Abu Dhabi to Los Angeles was delayed due to mechanical
issue that needed to be addressed.  We waited for two
hours after boarding and so instead of arriving Los Angeles
at 2:20pm (LA time), we arrived at 4:30pm. We're
thankful though for a safe trip.  One thing I could say
was that this flight from Bangalore to Abu Dhabi (4 hours)
and from Abu Dhabi(16 hours originally + the 2 hour delay)
was 22 hours - my first loooong flight !  David was as
normal as he could be.  He sat at his usual seat
assignment, was able to sit for long periods of time
punctuated with short amounts of walking to relieve 
long periods of sitting, no pain!  Isn't this
miraculous!!! Thanks for all the pr*ers said on on his
behalf.  Our Dad is amazing!
M*i and E*ene rode with Eugene Cheng while David
and Bess were picked up by Sara, their daughter.  We
retrieved all our luggages right.  They were all
intact. 
We went home in our separate ways but with the
plan to meet for dinner as a team later in the
month.  
We appreciate M*i for being the leader of our
team.  She had a tough job but did it with flying
colors in His abundant grace.  E*ene did a fantastic
job with leading the children's program thrust upon him
for the first time!  He said that usually he did
supportive roles with the children's program.  Yes,
D*d was able to do his assignment due to so many pr* of
Dad's family without his usual pain before coming to
India.  He was assailed first and be humbled before he
could do his part in the team.  We appreciate Tim for
the work he is doing.  It is a Dad thing to enable him
to carry on a lot of
responsibilities.  
To our community of supporters, we thank you for
coming alongside us.  You're so vital in the work
that was done.  Within a short time, the team was able
to accomplish what was expedient.  Of course, we would
like to do so many things.  Dad knows best!
Now that we're back, we're signing off
for now.
