a training trip

Chad, Amy and I headed out early Monday morning to a little town about 4 hours from here. Chad was  teaching at a training Monday-Thursday and so Amy and I tagged along to meet the women and be a part of this training. 

 Each night we were there, the leaders of the training took us to meet some of their family and friends. The first night we went to a house, the kids did a little dancing for us. 

 There are rarely foreigners in this little town. We felt a little like we were on display and different people kept stopping by to see us. But we got to meet some really nice people who were such welcoming hosts.

 Bharti was the cook at the training (it was her first time being the cook!) and she did an awesome job!

 Some of the students cleaning and picking through the wheat grains. Then they grind it to make flour- so neat!

 The ladies who prepared dinner for us on Tuesday night

 They wanted Amy to talk (in Hindi) to their friends on the phone. That's a little awkward :)

 The hotel we stayed at (I think it's the only hotel in the town) lacked a couple amenities we are used to.  It was totally fine, but we thought it was funny that we had to request toilet paper and towels. On the third day they told us they couldn't find more toilet paper in town for us and they brought us cups of napkins each day :)

Chad and I are looking forward to heading back there for a couple days this coming week. Don't worry... I've already got toilet paper rolls set out to take with us.
