2 hours. I return to India in 2 hours. I think I'm ready, although I have spent significantly less time preparing mentally for this semester than I did last semester. Part of it is that I already know what to expect, part is that I didn't go to orientation in Colorado this time, and part is that my best friend's wedding was yesterday, which has occupied my time and thoughts.
Regardless, I am super excited for the next few months, for exactly 4 reasons (and probably more):
- I get to experience India with 4 new interns and 2 new staff members
- I get to deepen friendships with returning staff and friends in the community
- I get to travel to south India for the first time
- I get to continue doing fulfilling work every day in a gorgeous setting
Thanks again to those of you who have committed to supporting me financially and in prayer. I'm seriously amazed at your generosity, and I have no words to express how grateful I am. For the record, about $3500 has come in so far, leaving me about $500 short of covering my expenses for the semester. And it's not too late if you'd still like to make a donation...just let me know.

P.S. I enjoy getting homemade baked goods in the mail. :)
