The summer

Well, It is 4:15 in the morning. The best time to finish studying for an 8am exam! In about 6 hours I will be officially done with college. It is kind of hard to believe. As for team India we recently put on a huge garage sale to raise money for the trip. A very generous lady named Midori offered to donate 50% of the profits of her garage sale if we did all the work. The Lord truly blessed our efforts and allowed us to raise well over $500! It was also a great experience as a team that served to crystallize what exactly it looks like for us to work together. 2 women in our group thankfully took it upon themselves to market the garage sale at a very busy nearby intersection. Arrayed in quite possibly Los Angeles' most flamboyant hats they danced (or swayed rhythmically if you are from Master's where dancing IS in fact the unpardonable sin) the day away demanding the complete attention of everyone passing by. There is no doubt in any of our minds that this was the foundation of our success!

Within the next few weeks, 2 people from our team will be going over early to begin serving with Peter and Heather. They will be there all summer so please remember to "lift them up."

In short the semester is over, as well as most of our preparation. We are only waiting to actually go!
