We arrived safe and sound at Quiet Corner today despite the political upset taking place in Karnataka. We found out late last night that the entire state of Karnataka was going on strike and that riots were expected. In anticipation of that Thomas thought it best to get out of Bangalore early. How early? 1:00 AM!! So on just 2.5 hours sleep we made a night journey which took 6 hours. We arrived at QC at 7 AM, had breakfast and was taken to our new accommodations on the second floor of the new Mercy Corner. We have the privilege of being the first people to occupy the room. It is a very large space. Bigger then any of the village homes. AND they installed a bath tub. It is really nice. Tom and Bev will move in next door. It is a similar room - no tub though. Sorry Bev.
We took a nap and after lunch I spent some time picking up trash that was left behind by campers. I took a break and Sal joined me near the bird cages. To our utter surprise, a large mountain lion comes prancing by about 20 feet from us. It is the first time a cat like that has come into the camp. I think the staff was doubting our story until they found the paw prints in the dirt.
I am now sitting at an internet cafe in Masanangudi. We have been given a 3G motim for our lap top but there is only 2G signal here so I am not able to access the internet from our room. Therefore, you may not be seeing many blogs in the days to come. When I am able to get back to this computer I will fill you in some more. We are excited about the Prayer Summit which begins Monday and the Kish's and David Samuel joining us at the end of the week.
Thanks for praying for us. We are having a great time. AND, finally, I leave you with this. . . .GO BEARS!
