Buryani for breakfast

I am starting to get more used to the curry and rice for breakfast….although my host mum is becoming more and more stealth-like at putting extra rice on my plate, as well as some milk which has been fermented with corn…its an interesting flavour but my insides seem to be coping ok.

i have had so many things to think about since I have been here. The first is how amazing it is staying with a local family. When I have done this sort of trip I have always been part of a christian team, and stayed with local christians or in a house with just the team i was with. But living with a family  gives you so much more insight into the culture . For me it especially gave me insight into hinduism and the rationale of it in their eyes. We have been having some great chats with our host mum about religion and politics. It really gives you much more of a heart for the country and its people. So much more of a desire to pray. I think staying with a local family is something many more mission teams should consider, even if the family are of a different religion.
