most of India speaks english, well, they speak different dialects of their own language with english words sprinkled in. It could be confusing at times. I didnt have any trouble being understood, esp by the younger kids, as long as I spoke slowly.

I heard someone the other day saying that India had the largest English speaking population in the world.

Well guys, Im back, We arrived back home on thursday after 26 hours of travel. Very, very rough day. We had a canceled flight and some other issues, but praise the Lord! we made it safe and sound. The night we were flying out of delhi there was a bomb threat made on the airport so it was loaded down with guys carrying machine guns (as was the whole city). As we are standing in line to check in, a light falls out the ceiling and slams into a plate glass wall, shattering it. Well, that just freaked everybody out. So that's how our return trip began.

I want to thank everyone for their kindness and their prayers. We were able to take part in an incredible move of God in both Nagaland and Delhi. I actually was able to pray for a Hindu woman to receive Jesus Christ. After that, several Hindu women brought their children to me and asked me to pray for them. It was very emotional. I took part in an altar call in which about 2000 youth responded in Nagaland. Words fail me as to what that was like. It was very tough, we only had electricity here and there. There were constant bugs and creatures in our room and bed. The pollution took a toll on my sinuses and the poverty was gut wrenching. Every mission trip I have ever been on has changed me, but this more than any other. I will post some pics over the next few days for you guys. Again, thank your for your prayers and support.

If it weren't for the sweater vest I wouldn't even know you were an American!

Rex that is really awesome. I hope and pray the very best for you. A few years back, some of my friends went to Costa Rica on a mission trip and it really shaped their perspective, something we can all use from time to time.

that was a vest that the men of the Yimchungchi tribe wear. they gave me one to wear when I would preach. they gave my wife the traditional garb the women wear. I saw some of their youth wearing western clothing, one kid had a naughty by nature shirt.

Good one......:eek:lol:..........and by the way, are there a lot of street signs in English over there? Just seems even more ironic because if it wasn't in English we'd never have known that Crompton could deliver.

I wouldn't say there are a lot of signs in English, but it wouldn't surprise me to see some, because a lot of people speak English there.

It wouldn't surprise me. Of all of my family in India (and this is a huge family), only one of them that I met wasn't fluent in English. Most of my familiy speaks 3 languages or more.
