Three Weeks!

I can't believe that I will be on an airplane headed to Chennai India in three weeks from today!

In three weeks time my life is going to be changed. I can't express how excited I am to have this amazing opportunity to travel across the world , and have my eyes opened to things that I didn't even know still existed today. Let's be honest, how many of you when you heard the word Leprosy thought oh ya that's still a problem in the world? Or did you think oh biblical times? I know I didn't think about the people in India who are considered cursed for having the misfortune of catching Leprosy, cast out from society into Leprosy colonies where they are considered untouchable. I know that there is still so much I don't know about Leprosy. I only hope that during my short stay I can help some of these people. I know that while I am there my life will be forever changed. I know that those beautiful children will touch my heart and leave a lasting impression. Wow. Just three weeks!
