ধন্যবাদ !!

I'm working on my Bengali because I'm definitely going to India!! (The title of this post reads "dhonnobad" in Bengali script, which means thank you.) I've raised ALL of my funding, and I'm so grateful to everyone who has so generously given! I seriously can't thank you all enough; I'm amazed at how fast it all came together. It's kind of ridiculous, really.

After church today, our little team got together for some Indian food here in Nashville, to get to know each other a little better before we're stuck in a foreign country together. I'd never had Indian food before, but it was delicious, and everyone going on the trip is wonderful... and now I'm even more excited! PLUS, we all got our passports back with Indian "Tourist Visa"s inside them, so we're pretty legit now.

Another cool thing we've been doing as a team is weekly devotionals via email. For the 14 weeks leading up to the trip, one of our 14 team members writes a small devotional about a verse or something that they've been thinking about recently. It's been a great way to get in the right mind set about the trip, get to know everyone a little more, and count down the weeks!

As of today... 12 weeks till Kolkata!!
