next saturday the 30th i will be embarking on a mission to india with my father and 20 others. we will be working in the southern part of india i forget the town name. anyway while there we will be working with thousands of orphans doing medical and dental checkups we have trained doctors and dentists on our team i will just be assisting in that process. this is the only chance these kids get to have checkups the whole year thats how desperate health care is over there. at night we will be taking part in huge crusade meetings in which the gospel is presented and some of the pastors speak and give sermons. usually lasts about 4 hours and thousands of indians attend those meetings. those are just some of the things we will be taking part in!
Some PRAYER needs include:
1. safe travel there (about 24 hours in all) and while in india.
2. servant attitude while there
3. flexibility and cohesiveness of the team!
thanks to all, update to follow after arrival back in the states hopefully!
to those of you wondering whats after india???? good question because i will be actually leaving michigan and traveling back out east to connecticut this time to be a live in nanny for a family of four kids there!!

2010
sorry once again for my failed bloggingness!!
happy new year to all of you! this fall nannying for my niece was great to bond with her, the city never could live there myself. just the crowded streets and subways the dirtyness of it, but it was a super chance to get out of the comforts of my midwestern thinking and way of doing things so i definately was stretched. my sister and bro in law live in predominantly dominican neighborhood, so that was fun to interact and practice some of my spanish (although i would like to be better). we were able to visit lots of museums, parks, restaurants, see a broadway, meet other families and little kids just to name a few. it was also great to spend more time with my sis, we became huge fans of the show glee and would watch every wednesday night. i became so hooked i asked for the season on dvd for christmas and my request was granted. my older brother chris is also out there and we saw eachother quite a bit as well. nothing like the togetherness of family!! all in all a great experience.
it is now more than midway through january and this month has flown by! the last three weeks i have taken part in a ministry called ALONGSIDE in which pastors and missionaries and whoever else comes to get a renewal and training of christian leaders. it involves seminars, group time, individual counseling and lots of rest and thinking. it has been a rich and blessed experience!
i think this is enough for now so stay tuned for some more updates.....happy thursday!!!!!
