...and in non-India related news...

September 24th (countdown: 4 days) about 8 friends, my brother Ryan, and I are all participating in the Long Beach Triathlon Sprint. You can check out the course at this site. If I don't die in the ocean, am able to finish before the sun sets, and keep from falling on my face, I'll consider this a highly successful event! :)

I've got a fun announcement! I've confirmed my plane ticket; I'm leaving for India on Tuesday, October 10th at 9:30 PM from LAX.I'll have only one stop over, in London, England (where I hope to get out, stretch my legs, and visit some of my "old" haunts) before arriving on October 11th in New Delhi, India.

Since it's been a while since I last posted, let me catch you up on some of the blessings I've experienced in the past month...

... I received my long awaited visa!
... financial support and thoughtful gifts (such as a sleeping bag, backpack, and theological resources) have all been kindly given to me
... I am finishing well at work --my last day is Friday, September 22-- and have been extremely supported by my company as a whole; not only are they offering me substantial financial support, but they've allowed me to share my heart with the entire staff
...I have spent sweet times with friends (camping in San Luis); I'm looking forward to more of those before I leave

Thanks for your continued prayers. I'm incredibly thankful for them!

Oh, and thank you SO MUCH for the comments on the last post, Jerilyn, Steve, and Grace! They made my day. :)
