After a good night's sleep at the Mission President's home in Bangalore, we returned to the Bangalore Airport via taxi and were reunited with our luggage which came in on a later flight. We flew to Hyderabad and were met there by the Lylerlys, who are serving a Humanitarian mission. They hosted us for two days, "showed us the ropes", and took us to some touristy places. We were able to hear Julie B. Beck, General Relief Society President, speak at the Hyderabad Chapel. On Friday we flew to Visakhapatnam where we were met by the Branch President and went directly to our apartment. We sure were tired of dragging eight pieces of luggage around with us -- and everyone else was tired of being our "porters".
