Sorry for not posting a blog sooner. I have been without the internet since I left for New York over a week ago. Here is a quick update on what has happened since I left with more to follow soon.
New York was awesome! I had a great time with my World Race family celebrating the New Year. Throughout the night we kept running into more WR people in random places. Our group started the night with 5 people then jump to 11 and ended with 15 without anything planned. It was crazy but a great way to share the New Year.

So I left for India out of JFK on the 1st and got to India on the 3rd. We lost a whole day in flight with the time changes. That is a very weird feeling to lose a day while on a plane. Our flight was amazing. Tons of free movies that were worth watching and all the ice cream you could eat (the good stuff too). I couldn’t fall asleep on the plane but that was okay since there was so much to do on it.
(Bored on the plane.)

We got into India around 3:30am local time. They are eleven and a half hours ahead of us back home. We flew into Hyderabad where we are launching from. It is a major city and just packed with people. It didn’t seem real the first few day that I was not going home anytime soon. Yesterday we got to go out for Adventure Day. Which means going into the city to find something cool and get a taste of the local culture with your Team and trying to find your way back to the place you are staying. We had a great time and it was a great adventure. That will be shared in another blog soon. Tomorrow we travel by overnight bus to a new location where we will begin our partnership with local missions group.
Thank you all for your prayers and support. Please continue to think of me often when you pray. God wants to do some much here and I can not wait to share it all with you.
