Why India?

I've had several friends ask why and how did I get to India. 
I have done several humanitarian projects in third world countries over the past 10 years helping with dental and medical care, building houses, painting schools and teaching English.  A great Christmas was last year when I left with another family on December 23 for Tijuana.  For 2 weeks we worked very hard, slept on the floor and took cold showers.  Sound fun to anyone??   I wasn't working hard - I was doing small things for Father's children. 
When I have been home in the States I have either gone to school or been working.  I had enjoyed my job at the law firm over the past 5 years but 8 to 5 working and living for friends on the weekend was not fulfilling.  There was something very basic missing in my life - the routine had become as tinkling brass and sounding symbols. 
When the earthquake hit Haiti in January of this year I really wanted to go for a week or two and be involved in  the recovery efforts so I researched foundations in Utah but couldn't find any who could use one individual.  They only considered groups.  I decided I wanted to find something full time - not just for a week or two. 
I sent my resume' to 14 foundations around the country hoping someone would read it and someone could use an old woman on their staff.
I received several replies of thank you but no thank you.  Then in March I received a call from Becky Douglas of Rising Star Outreach.  RSO has been around for 5 years.  It is a fascinating story how Becky created this orphanage for leprosy affected children.  ( risingstaroutreach.org )  She needed an EMT and said she needed me there by June 1st.  When we talked I knew this was where I needed to be.  She said she would call back after talking to her board.  I waited 3 weeks then called her to check.  She said they had just hired a full time doctor and wasn't sure I was needed anymore.  I still felt I was to go to India so went to the health dept. and got all immunizations for India, collected my things that I had stored at different places and put it all in to one storage, went to see my kids who live in Washington & Idaho and flew to see my brother in northern Idaho who is very sick.  By July, I was confused because they said they wanted me to go in August to help with the influx of volunteers for that month but that came and passed too.  I had had such a strong confirmation of my being needed at Rising Star that I just had to wait.  Then in the middle of September Amelia called and said it was time to get my visa.  They didn't know what I was going to be doing but they needed me.  The visa was a process because India has tightened their process due to Muslim problems.  So my ticket was purchased for October 12.   HooRay!!
