So I thought I should start a blog and share about my semester abroad in India :). As my trip gets closer I get both excited and scared. Excited for a new adventure and scared of all the unknown.
The title of my blog (Why India?) is a question I get a lot. I think I have answered the question a different way every time I have been asked. The truth is...I don't know...it just happened. I could have chosen ANYWHERE. Seriously, there there is a study abroad program for almost anywhere in the world. I did not start this whole study abroad process thinking, "I want to go to India." In fact, I knew basically nothing about India except that it is overpopulated and they have gross water. I kept looking for other programs and places to go, but kept coming back to India.
I know without a doubt that India is the place for me this fall. It has been confirmed in more ways than I can count. Even though right now I may not be able to give a clear answer on why I chose India, I hope that by the end of my trip and through this blog I will be able to discover and share why God chose India.
I fly out from Redmond September 4th (a week from today ahhhhhh) and meet the group in Washington DC. I should be arriving in India sometime on Wednesday, September 7th.
I am looking forward to keeping you all updated :)
Love,
Brooklyn
My beautiful cousin Brooklyn:

Oh Brooklyn, I could not be more happy or proud of you...but I have to say...my stomach does a leap and I feel a bit "motherish", meaning, I feel a bit of butterflies and teary, but I know the Lord will watch over you...I would not have it any other way, but I will miss you and pray for you daily!!!!! I am mostly astonished and excited about your journey and growth with the LORD!!!! You are amazing!!!
