The most adventurous Sunday ever

Alright...Sean and I are NOT very social people but we have made it a goal to try and be much more outgoing and make some friends. SO TODAY, we got invited by a couple at church to eat dinner at their house. I had already signed up to cook dinner for a girly who is going through some hard medical stuff right now AND our bishop and one of the bishopric members had planned to visit us at our house right after church but we managed to work everything in the schedule. 

Our visit with the bishop was awesome. They just wanted to get to know us. Turns out all of us have roots to California. 
We made some amazing dinner for the one girl and her hubs and when we dropped it off we realized that I was in a choir with them in California! We had so many random connections AND turns out her husband is a nerdy gamer like Sean. Super awesome.
THEN we went to another couple's house for dinner and they have a BEE FARM. WHAT?! We got to chew on some honey loaded bee's wax which was surprisingly fantastic. Then they had homemade bread and pesto with which we got to make paninis. 

Basically the love was most definitely shared today. With any religion you may belong to, there is something really unique and fantastic about having something random that connects you. I saw today how with as much as we gave we got back so much more. It is so cool how that works. We are lucky to be in this ward. There are so many good people who have set goals to do good things and be good people. It is a pretty contagious vibe. 

Right now my heart is torn because I know there is a lot of good that is here waiting for me, and yet I am leaving for a month in hopes of a life changing opportunity. I know that going to India is the right thing to do. My heart is in a position right now that is ready to share love with others and also absorb some beautiful parts of life that I am completely unaware of. I know that it will be an incredibly beneficial aspect of my future and deciding what I will pursue next.
I am honestly the most blessed person in the world for the opportunities that I have, and also for the love, support and encouragement that I get *cough cough*, that's mostly about you, Sean.

Anyway, more India updates to come. The countdown is almost at ONE WEEK. Please leave me any thoughts, insights, questions, stories, requests to make this blog more effective(to those who are interested =] )
