Hello ladies and gents!
Our plans have been solidified, and our trip to India is right around the corner! We will be flying out today at 3pm and returning on Tuesday, May 3rd. We have gotten all of our vaccinations and medications that are necessary for the trip. The outpouring of support from those at Cal-U, friends, and family has been amazing, and we have been given a plethora of supplies for the orphanage, as well as monetary donations to buy supplies for the children once we are there.
On March 11th we completed our first student teaching placements here in the U.S. Our days have been full of planning lessons and activities, creating behavior systems, and trying to figure out how to best reach our students. The past 7 weeks have been very busy and at times overwhelming, but we both loved our students and had a very difficult time walking out on our last days. Before we knew it, our first placement was completed, and our journey to India was less than a week away!
This week the nervous excitement has set in as we tie up all of the loose ends here in the states. Applications for substituting, summer jobs, and teaching positions in the fall have been completed and sent out, giant packing lists have been made to make sure nothing is forgotten for us or for BSSK, and visits are being made to friends and family to say our last goodbyes. We are so grateful for those that God has placed in our lives. This trip wouldn’t be possible without each and every one of you!
As our journey begins, we continue to ask for your thoughts and prayers. Prayers for the children at BSSK and those we will meet along the way, for the unknown as we go to orphanage without set details and plans, and for us that we may be at ease and let God work through us to complete His plan.
India here we come!
