Leaving

I am sitting in the Seattle airport. It feels normal. I fly through here all the time. But what isn't normal is that my plane ticket says Seoul, Korea. I also have another ticket that says Mumbai, India. It just doesn't feel real. I'm expecting to fly back the way I came, land in Salt Lake City, go back to classes on campus and live the life I've had so far.

India has been my dream since grade 10. In a big way my decision to study anthropology was tied to this dream. I thought maybe one day it would bring me to India. And look-- its happening! 

Honestly, I'm afraid of not making the most of my time in India. So my resolution this year is to be brave- to do things I never would have seen myself doing in the past, to do things that make me uncomfortable and most of all to do things that will change me forever! I want to I want  to be enchanted by India, then disillusioned. I want to feel every single feeling-- even the ones that suck. I've been trying for months to figure out how to 'prepare' myself for what I'll experience there. It hasn't been working and I think I know why that is. I can't prepare for this. I can only trust myself and trust my Father in Heaven. Cuz just like almost everything in life you can only take it one step at a time.

Here's Alexis and I enjoying our last moments in America... of course we needed one last hamburger.

BYE!
