Hey frieds and family. Its been a while. Its been hard to log online due to lack of places with wifi.
India is dense, with constant people, high heat, dirt, cows, smells (one time, when traveling on the overnight 8hr bus I smelled a completly different disgustingly pungent smell almost every hour, smells that i never new existed nor could i identify)… but i actually love it. Its been one of my favorite places!!
Two things I absolutely love about India that dont necessarily go hand in hand…. or shouldnt go hand in hand. I love eating with my hands… its so much natural fun.

I perfer using the squatty potty to a sit down toilet. (#2 is easier & #1 is a fun game)
After the squad arrived in Hydrabad, we had some cultural orientation time: learning words, dress codes of that region, cultural norms and more…. From there we were invited to some villages.
We were welcomed so warmly with flower neclaces, music and dancing; i felt like a queen. In the villages we prayed for people, sang and shared songs, shared stories about Jesus and about what God has done and is doing in our personal lives… while there, God delivered and physically healed people and touched hearts in new ways. It all happened very fast, but it was one of my favorite periods of the World Race thus far.
From there so much more life giving meetings and converstations have happened as we have traveled to cities further north.
Yesterday, me and my team got to visit the Taj.
Melissa, Fei, Megan, Vielka, Sara, & Me. In front of one of the 7 wonders of the world. Being there in person and hearing about the details of its history and archietchure I could see why.
We are soon to be headed further north and then to Nepal. In order to continue this race I am needing to reach my deadline of 6000k.
It was due the 30th, but I have some grace time for gathering the funds. If 100 people i know (or dont know?!?!) would help me by even giving a small monthy sum of $10 for the next 6 months that would help me reach my goal. Please pray for me and share my financial needs with friends.
In the mean time I am going to continue sharing His love, metting people, stepping out of my comfort zone, learning to live in community 24/7, being dirty, and taking life day by day. Thank you for reading.
