I have arrived.

I am in India. I am lying in my bed at the Marriott Hotel in Chennai, India. Surprisingly I cannot fall asleep which is ridiculous because I hardly slept at all on my 22 hours of plane time but my body is just too wired. It is now 4:05 am and I will be waking up at 8:00 to attend church. I am so excited to start the day. Getting here was painful but as I walked off the plane and into the airport, I felt like I was in a movie. The best word to describe this is SURREAL I cannot believe I am really here. It is a crazy city to say the least. At 2:00 am the streets were still hoppin' and the airport was the most crowded place I have ever been. I have already been exposed to some of the poverty that comes with this third world country. I am highly intrigued and can't wait to see and learn more about these people and the culture. Anyway, there is my update and assurance that I am alive and well.
