O_O

O_O   <-- That's what my eyes look like right now.Why? Because we JUST GOT OUR PLANE TICKETS!

$2100 (donated) dollars later... WOW. Only from God's Providence was this possible. ONLY.

I can't say it enough: Thank you for your support. Thank you for participating in our mission to serve.

We want to love as God loves...
Last night, Elaina and I slept at my apartment and as we lay in my bed, cloaked in the darkness of night, we tried to imagine what it'll be like in India. Dirt floors, concrete walls, palpable air, stifling heat, bugs, feces, disease, children, heartbreak, anger, frustration, exhaustion, joy, sweat, love... we talked for hours.  

... to learn the true spirit of sacrifice.
It was an eye-opening conversation. We both, I realized, want to - need to - be broken, for that is where unselfconscious service is found. We want to rip off our shallow exteriors and be left with a naked soul. We want to be "what we should be" so that God might use us to "set the world on fire," as St. Catherine of Siena said.

In short, we want to learn how to love better.

By your support, you share in our goal... which is why we can't stop saying THANK YOU. <3
