Check out this picture of the Holi Festival, which is a popular Hindu festival known as the "Festival of Colors." Here's what my friend who lives in India said about it, "... each year as the festival nears, families buy packets of colored powders and water cannons, then spend the "Holi" day throwing these colors and spraying water on one another. Oftentimes, the wild event degenerates into a crazy free-for-all where everyone is trying to completely saturate their neighbor beyond recognition." I bet you wouldn't mind celebrating that festival!
The family and I also hit the trails in a park behind our house to have an adventure and help break in my boots and backpack.
Although the trip isn't until fall, preparations are already underway! Most of the group is doing the Bible study Gospel Transformation ( a 36 week Bible study) and reading The Heavenly Man, about Brother Yun, who is one of China's house church leaders.

Part of the team also ate at a local Indian restraunt after church. You can click on the picture to see the smaller pictures better. Personally, I plan to keep doing the Bible study and reading the book, and I plan to keep breaking in the boots and back-pack and build my endurance....but I DON'T plan to sample more of the cuisine until I get there and have to!!!

This is great! I look forward to seeing how God prepares you and this team for the work He has for you. I know that He will also be at work in you during this time and on the trip and I look forward to reading about that as well.
Count on my to be in prayer for the things you've listed.

You will open the hearts of many to God/Jesus, when they feel your warmth, true believe, and enthusiasm. We will be praying for your strength and endurance during this trip, and cannot wait to hear about how many people you have "touched".
Ps.: I am sure the food is delicious.
