A week from today...

A week from today I will be leaving MN to go on my 6th trip to India. Upon my arrival in Bangalore on January 20th, I will join a medical team that will be holding clinics in villages around Cuddapah in Andhra Pradesh. During my stay in India, a church in the village of Chilekompalli will be dedicated to the memory of my parents & I will have the awesome privilege of being a part of that service. I had hoped that my brother, sister & one of my nephews could go to India with me for the dedication, but that didn't work out.

Right now I'm sitting in my chair with my grandson, Kayden, & my cat, Frosty, sleeping on my lap. Kayden is almost 23 months old & adds so much joy to my life!!! He loves to be read to as he snuggles on my lap. He is growing up fast & I'm trying to make the most of all the time I have with him.

It's a good thing I'm relaxing right now, because the next few days will be extremely busy as I get ready to go. It will be a challenge to have my luggage meet the weight restrictions, because I want to take lots of crayons & stickers with me to give to the children. My son, Isaac, helped me get some of my "India Stuff" out of storage si I can start the packing process tonight after Kayden goes back to his mom's.
