Day - 7 365 days 365 places Jalpaiguri to Natun bandhar - 37 kms

Greetings to you my family in the name of the Lord. I started from Jalpaiguri and reached Mainaguri a beautiful place indeed. Our India is so blessed with natural beauty. As I ride there are many places when my heart praises our God for his beautiful creation. I intended to stop in Mainaguri but I decided to ride on. On the way I stopped at a shop to buy water. The owner seeing my condition was gracious enough to start the cooler in his shop. We got into a conversation and I could pray for him. Praise Jesus. Then as I rode on some youth approached me and asked as to where I was from and asked if I could take some rest with them. It happened to be a fish farm. Though I couldn't openly pray for them I prayed in my heart for their salvation. The climate as usual was not favorable with scorching heat but by God's grace I pushed myself to continue. I contacted the pastor and finally reached the church in a village. The village is not very developed but a brother Samsons family welcomed me into their home and provided me with Lunch. God bless them abundantly. I prayed

for them as well as the village and the church. I couldn't stay there because they were to go by the evening train to a seminary in Nagaland. So they directed me to a nearby place 17 kms away. I first thought it will be some place besides the highway but as I followed the directions it was way off the highway . It was evening and I had to literally ride through a jungle. My cycle light was slowly going off charge and google maps couldn't be accessed due it being a thick jungle. Anyways by God's grace through phone and asking several people on the way with my limited hindi I finally reached a small Nepali school. Met a brother who gave me a small place to stay through the night. My God is so gracious. He literally holds my hand and directs me. Praise be to his holy name.
