2 blog posts in 2 days, consider yourself lucky...or cursed
- We went to see Toni Morrison read from her new book "A Mercy" last night. It was really cool to be able to hear such an amazing writer read from her own work. Her voice was really soothing and part of my was glad I was not on a couch because I would have fallen asleep hardcore!
- I found out today that I am going to India in January with Western Seminary. As an RCA student at another seminary I can apply to take advantage of Western's Intercultural Immersion programs. I did find this out until this year and it would not have worked until this year given that finals had been after Christmas until this year. I had originally put Oman as my number one choice but got a call from the dean of Western this morning saying things had changed and India was an option so I changed my number one choice and lo and behold I will be heading to India. I do not have a lot of info on it quite yet but I am really excited to be going. I tend to feel a little bit behind on the whole world travel front given that Miriam has been all over including spending 6 years of her childhood living in Liberia (I've only been to England and Bermuda. Canada doesn't count)

Awesome, congratulations! I guess I'll have to visit Mir in January so that she doesn't get too lonely :)

How wonderful that you are able to participate in the Western program and travel to India in January. That should add some excitement to your final months in seminary. What a great learning experience.

Love from your in-laws!
