I am happy to report that my trip to India went smoothly. Two long plane rides, but my luggage and my hosts were both waiting on the other end, much to my relief. Moreover, I was pleased to find that my room (a dorm room at the Management Development Institute just outside of Delhi) has a computer with internet access. Thus, this post.

\nOn my second flight — from Amsterdam to Delhi — I was settling into my seat when I spotted another passenger carrying a package of Book of Mormon cassettes. (This may not seem altogether strange, but remember that I was on a flight from Amsterdam, Holland to Delhi, India, where the Church is not allowed to proselyte.) I was waiting to speak to her as she passed when she indicated that she had been assigned to the seat next to me! Of course, I immediately struck up a conversation about the Church, and she was very relieved to have found a soulmate on the trip, her first to India. Indeed, somewhat to my embarrassment, she seemed to take my presence as a sign of divine intervention in her travels. You see, although she was traveling alone, she was meeting her husband and his family on the other end. He is an Indian and recent convert to the Church, and she is hoping to introduce his Islamic family to the Gospel. Fare thee well, fellow Saint!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
