I'm sure all of you already know this because I've been bursting at the seems with excitement this whole week!! But I have some very exciting news...
Drumroll please.....
I'm going back to India!!!! (I know, not exactly a shocker)
I'm so very excited, this summer, I get to go back to India and spend a month serving the family that runs the orphanage. While I'm there, a large team will be coming, so my duties will be a lot of behind the scenes, support work. I will be doing everything from laundry to cooking in order for R to be able to devote her attention and time to the ministry and the team. I will also be doing some things directly for the ministry as they need. Mainly, I will just be available and willing to do anything and everything that they could possibly ask.
But that's not all!!!
Before traveling to India, I will be making a stop in Central Asia to see my K!!!! Again, so excited!! I've been wanting to go see her life and work in CA for so long now! Every time I've gone to India, she's told me to come see her and I think that if I went to India one more time without visiting her, she would stop being my sister. It will be so good to see where she lives, what she does, and meet some of the people that I've heard so many stories and seen so many pictures of.
I'm going to have the most exciting summer!! I can't wait! I'm so thankful that everything is working out so far. I've been praying since pretty much the fall that I would be able to go spend a longer period of time in India. My time there may not be as busy and action packed as when I've gone on teams, but that is what I'm most excited about. I will be there just living life with the family. I am getting the opportunity to experience for one month, what my life will one day be like.
I would ask that all of you be praying for me as I prepare for all of this excitement! Be praying that details will work out, there will be a lot of flights to figure out and more logistics than I can think about!! Also, just be praying for me. This will be a long time away from home and I'm so excited about it, but I know that 6 weeks overseas is going to feel like a very long time. And finally, please be praying that I will be able to get the funds together.
Speaking of funds...
I've decided that from now until I leave, pretty much all of my money made from babysitting will be going towards my trip. So, I need a lot of babysitting jobs. I feel strongly that I want to make a personal sacrifice in order to go on this trip. So I will be tightening my budget, saving and working extra hard to earn money in order to go.
That said, if you or anyone you know, or whoever, ever needs a babysitter, please give them my name!! They can reach me best by e-mail, so feel free to hand it out!! My e-mail is lsdroege@gmail.com.
Thank you so much for your support and prayers!! I can't wait to share with all of you about my time both there and preparing. It's going to be amazing!!
