words.
The last three weeks of my life have been nothing but a whirlwind of adventure. To see the way that the Lord has transformed my heart even over the last few weeks has been absolutely incredible. My words cannot even being to explain what I have experienced or what the Lord has been doing here in Calcutta, but here’s my best attempt at doing so:
Training camp was an awesome time to spend time with my team and to get to know them. I am so thankful for the way that AIM taught us about overseas missions and equipped us for what we were going to experience together. I cannot believe that...

India is amazing. I am
absolutely in love with everything here. The kids at the Asha children’s home

Here I’am in a place I once never thought or wanted to be in… How wrong was I to believe that this place was not for me. I’am sharing this experience of being in Calcutta with people I met a week ago and learning to live together as family. This place previously was real to me through TV or documentries, and having the privilege to be here and minister to the orphans here in Calcutta is a joy beyond life itself.
I’am completely out of my element, and so far I find this to be so cleansing, unreal and incredible..I feel blessed to say the least.
To even explain...
new normal
Our new normal:
we refer to food by its color:

locals follow us around, stare at us, and take our pictures. ALL the time:
I returned the favor.
Trash goes in the local pond:
Or just on the ground. It hurts a little every time.
Showers are a thing of the past:
Oh, hey shower.
And hindi flower pot.
Laughter knows no bounds:
I have the honor of spending the next three months with these incredible...
