He made everything

beautiful in its time. Ecclesiastes 3:11

So my visa has arrived, but the dates are wrong so my trip will be in September. I got shots yesterday.

As of Sunday I have been in contact with another young woman who is going to India in September and I am trying to coordinate my trip with hers so that we can fly over together and maybe see the the Taj Mahal before going to Manipur.

I did the math and need about $3000 for while I'm gone. Most of it will be for the bills here in the states...blah! Stupid bills! But the Lord has a plan and he will make all things work together according to His will!

Fail sauce

So I didn't get the visa app sent because I forgot my passport number while at my parents' house. I was there because they have a printer and I don't. Oh well, guess I'll do that when I get home from my weekend trip to NYC. Leaving for the airport in an hour! :)

India Bound

    I am going to Manipur, India at the end of November to work at Covenant Children's Home http://ww.pmiweb.org/LT_children.asp. Lian Tombing came to visit my church March 25th and after meeting him, I felt called to join him as he worked with the orphans of Manipur. When he found out that I had a Bachelor's of Social Work he told me that I was needed and asked me when I would join him. At the time, I didn't have a passport, but as of last weekend, that has changed. 

 The red highlighted part on the map of India is Manipur.
didn't even know that was part of India until a month ago. 

To go to India I need: a visa, vaccinations, and plane tickets (from Orlando to New Delhi and from New Delhi to Manipur).   I also need to pay my bills here while I'm gone (Rent, utilities, insurance, credit card = approx $900)

I have: My passport and 2 pictures for my visa. 

Today I will: fill out, print, and mail the application for the tourist visa to India.
