On The Way!!

 May 23, 2011

Well I made it to London!!! It’s so CRAZY that I am even here. I don’t think the fact that I am going to India will hit me til I step into a world that was only the things I imagined in my wildest dreams. I know it’s hard for some family back at home or for even people to understand why I wanted to go all the way to India, but trust me…I know God is doing something great in and through me! I have never been so sure of a feeling like this before! I am so thankful for all of you who have supported me through this… your prayers, calls, and conversations mean more than you know. The flight over here was actually fairly fast. I dozed in and out of sleep and I’m tired, but by the time I arrive in Hyderabad it will be 5AM and 2 days technically later since I left the US! I cannot tell you just how much I love watching and learning about people of different cultures and backgrounds…being in terminals surrounded by international travelers is so interesting! I refuse to let anyone stop me from living my dreams, traveling the world, learning as much as I can, and helping those who are in desperate need help. I want to learn so much on this trip about the people and culture and although I am going be there for those who need me… I know it is the people of India themselves who will change me the most. This is going to be such a great experience! I hope to keep you and all my loved ones updated as I journey further into a land that is completely foreign to me! Once again thank you all for supporting me!

Much Love,
