My name is India Leino, although most of my friends call me Indi.

I received my BA at the University of Texas in Austin, where I met my fabulous husband Rustan.  I receive my MAT in Biblical Studies from Fuller Theological Seminary.  I took some of my classes at the Palo Alto, CA branch http://www.fuller.edu/cll/fnc/ and the rest of my classes at the Seattle, WA branch http://www.fuller.edu/cll/fnw/ .  Fuller is a great school.  I still enjoy theological study.

I enjoy reading.  As you might guess I enjoy reading books on theology and church history.  I also enjoy other books.   I have a soft spot for kid’s books perhaps partially because of all the fun I have had reading with my kids. 

I am currently on our church council at Grace Lutheran Church in Bellevue.  I am also involved with the education committee and the evangelism committee.  I enjoy being part of the family of Grace.

I enjoy fiddling around with sewing and I have made a couple of dolls and quilts for my kids as well as many Halloween costumes.

I also really like listening to music.  One of my favorites is the Newport band (where my sons Klas and Mattias play in the jazz bands as well as the regular bands).  I am developing a real appreciation for jazz.  One of my all time favorite bands is Rush.
