In February 2014 I went to India on a mission trip. This blog talks about the storms that I went through to get there and the mountains that were moved so that I could go. Ending with my experience there. Feel free to leave comments as you join me on a journey of a lifetime. Have a blessed day, week and year. Remember through Faith and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ all things are possible.

I feel so bad. I haven't updated my blog so no one knows what is currently going on with Mission India. In answer to that though is lots and lots. We are doing tons of fundraising to help us meet our goal of $2,800. Yes, the price did go down. It got reworked and adjusted which is a blessing. However it is still a lot of money to raise in such a short time. In about three and a half months I will be in India. I'm so excited. Back to fundraising. To help us all reach our goals we are doing different fundraisers. Two that are currently going on are: Ornament sales (which ends November 11th) and pies (which ends a week before I leave for India). The pies had been just for the holidays but at this time I will make pies for anybody who wants one and deliver it whenever you would like. I have one friend who wants a strawberry-rhubarb pie. Rhubarb is seasonal so she is waiting for them to come in season and is paying for the pie ahead of time. Which is awesome. We had a goal of selling 100 ornaments and/or pies by December I'm almost halfway there. My beautiful mother bought 2 pies for Thanksgiving even though she knows I would of just made them for the family, and she bought an ornament and she doesn't celebrate Christmas. I thought it was so sweet of her. Near the end of this month we will be doing a tamale fundraiser. Which once again my beautiful mother is helping out with it. She is actually helping us make the tamales.  Then for the month of January we will be doing pancake breakfasts at the church every Sunday morning. I am personally making the pancakes. Oh we are also doing a bake sale later this month. Right now each of us needs to raise $1500 by December. This is for our plane tickets. Not sure how it will happen but I know it will. God works in miraculous ways and if it is his will for us to go the funds will be there.

I will also be doing another blog through our church. Once it is up and running I will let everyone know how they can find it and read it. I need to still do my first blog.
