We arrived safe and sound in Chennai and stayed overnight in the Marriott (partners with Rising Star).
The next day we were off for the two-hour drive to the Rising Star campus. We are settled in to our bungalow and mostly unpacked and organized. We started right in with a tour of the school and now Vickie and Katie Etherington (volunteer from BYU) are organizing the small library and Gordon is preparing for teacher training that begins May 26. In between we are going to and fro trying to register with the local police and the district Foreign Registration Office. We really enjoyed church yesterday at the branch in Chennai. They have a very nice rented facility with great air conditioning (very important). Here are some scenes from our first few days:
Kala, our school secretary, and one of the RSO vehicles.
Never thought I would see peanuts stored in a school room. This is part of the harvest from the campus farm. Don't worry, we'll move them before school starts.

It looks like you have a lot of adventures coming your way. Good luck!
So, are your clothes working out, Mom? I'm not sure how that cotton is going to hold up with the old scrub-in-the-bucket method of washing... The view from the school to your cottage is fascinating - looks like a real "jungle out there"! Glad you're safe.
Sure looks like fun!! Alan & Blair did some "over the fence" neighborly chatting on Saturday. The yard looks fabulous, and the family seems to be doing well here. Keep up the posts, we are enjoying your journey!
