India in 1 week!

Welcome to my blog!

 I can’t believe I leave for India in 1 week from today.  It has been almost a year in planning and I am so excited to finally embark on this adventure.  I am really curious what God will reveal to me on this trip and how He will use me to serve the people in Vellore. 

 For the details, I leave next Thursday (October 30th) out of Grand Rapids, MI.  My mom will be traveling with me and will be staying for 10 days to get me settled and to visit some friends she has made during her past trips to India.  From there, we will travel to Chicago, then London, and then on to Chennai.  We arrive in Chennai at 1:00am Saturday morning.  We will spend all day Saturday and part of Sunday in Chennai.  We hope to go to the  Indian Ocean, and do some shopping.  On Sunday afternoon, we will take the 3 hour drive to Vellore.  I will be staying in a student hostile with an international roommate on the medical college campus.  My mom will be in a hotel close by.  I will hopefully have internet access and will be writing updates periodically. 

 As for my health, I will be seeing a Cardiologist in Holland on Monday who will make the final decision on whether I am able to go on the trip.  We sent my medical records to the office on Tuesday, and after review the preliminary decision was that I would be able to go.  :-)  Definitely answered prayers!!  I trust that after more review and my office visit on Monday I will get the final okay.  Please continue to pray for wisdom in this decision.   

Thanks for reading and stay tuned…
