Next up.

So I'd mentioned in passing before that India plans were in the preliminary stages. School has been crazy busy, and now I'm only six weeks away from the end of the semester/the next adventure.

My last final is December 15; I leave for India the next day. I'll probably tweet (hopefully) daily like I did last time I left...people at home have told me they like to know I'm alive and stuff. Not sure how accessible a computer is going to be, so we'll see about blogging.

Anyway: the game plan for India is exciting. Mostly, we're going to hang out at a children's home our church sponsors and celebrate Christmas with the kids. There's about two hundred of them, and since they don't have access to very regular medical attention and I have a nursing background, we're going to give them all a quick head-to-toe and test kiddos we're concerned about for HIV and TB.

After that, most of the group goes home. Bryon and I are going to stay in the country, though, and catch a flight south-er, to Bengaluru, Karnataka. My mom had a friend who is a priest and has a children's home of his own in Mysore, so we're going to hang out with him and his kids for a few days and then head home. Should be fun! I'll post more detailed plans later...for now, I'm off to enjoy a crisp autumn Saturday.

Love love love,
Jessica
