I'm going to India today for my summer vacation. I planned an eleven day trip, but one day and one night is a layover in Hong Kong.

Why did I pick India? Many people have asked me and my answers have varied from "they have cheap jewelry" "India is cheap" "India is the second most populated country" "India has elephants" "the plane ticket was cheap" "Australia is winter now" "my friend from high school was indian".

I'm going with Daniel and Jacob, two missionaries here, because they are my friends and I need their protection.

So far some of the news stories the last month about india have been about bombings from Pakistani terrorists, a stampede at a temple, how India's economy is growing, and the push to put rats on the menu in India because there are a lot of poor people.

But I am excited. Daniel, Jacob and I prayed last night that God would direct our steps and use us in his work to bring the light of Jesus to India.

Please also pray for my safety and health :)

I'll be back September 1st!

i'm not much of a fan of missionary work, but your trip sounds like it has a lot of potential. i hope it goes well and that you enjoy your stay. at least you're going somewhere y'know

i hear jesus glows in the dark, and so do the rats in india. maybe something will be decently edible. take care.
