India has begun…we had a very uneventful plane ride to Doha, and then headed off to Hyderabad India. Here in Hyderabad, my squad and I have had the last three days filled with cultural debrief and some amazing sessions to mentally, physically, and spiritually prepare us for the next year. It gave me the opportunity to grasp the fact that my life will be so different over the next year: challenging, emotional, rewarding, and most of all…life changing.

It is crazy to be back in India, I almost feel like I never left; the people, the smells, the traffic, etc. I am so excited to be on the World Race and each of you made that possible for me. I am blessed abundantly.

 
Tonight we leave on a 7 hour bus ride to Vijayawada, India. We will be working/living at an orphanage and helping to take some of the workload off the main caretakers. More information to follow when I get there and find out more details!
