As we logged on this morning, we were shocked to see the news of the attacks in Mumbai. I suspect you've seen more coverage than we have, since our knowledge is limited to what we've read on the news sites this morning. Needless to say, it is sobering to be here and learn of such violence. We are well. We've got a couple things in our favor: (a) we are far removed from Mumbai (Pune is approximately 100 miles from Mumbai, but we left Pune yesterday and are now in Delhi, far north); and (b) it appears the terrorists targeted luxury hotels. If that's the case, they'll never get near us.
Small comfort, but you take your solace where you find it. The Embassy is closed today. We have an appointment first thing tomorrow morning for the interview for Leena's visa. While there, we'll be able to learn what, if any, additional precautions they are recommending in light of these events.
We appreciate all of your support and ask that you keep us in your prayers.

So glad to hear it.
We love you all so much and we're glad to hear that you're safe. We've been watching the news and praying for you! Dalton, Eliza, and Cole are doing great!!! We're glad that you posted to let us know you're ok. We hope the rest of your journey goes smoothly. We will be looking for more posts, Leena is beautiful!
P.S. we have not told your kids anything that has been going on, we don't want them to worry. Instead they have been swimming, eating, and playing with cousins!
The news here is very frightening. They are targeting "westerners". Please be informed in order to be safe. Kent, I am not exagerating the seriousness of the situation. The Hansen kids are happy here and all is well. Love,Mom
We have not told the kids about the India situation. Love,Mom
HI! We are sure you all know that we are praying for you and are worried too. Leena is so cute we can hardly stand it!!! She looks like she is really happy and content. We saw two movies today and tomorrow is Thanksgiving. We all have a lot to be grateful for this season! Please give Leena hugs and kisses for us and remind her that her favorite aunt is coming to see her soon!!!! We are so proud of you Nate for eating all of that weird food. It is great practice for your mission. Oh- yeah- unless you get to go to Paris like me! C'est bon! xoxoxo Michelle
So glad to hear you are safe and away from the violence. When we first heard of the attacks I panicked for a minute not remembering where exactly in India you are. Thanks for letting us experince this incredible journey with you. Can't wait to meet Lena in person. Travel safe.
It will be so wonderful to have you all home with us again. We know that you are on an errand of our Heavenly Father. Stay safe... and know that we love you all so much. We are glued to the news. It is on every channel here.
