– to grow incredibly close to those around me, both teammates and those I’m serving
– to break down to my teammates because I’m just overwhelmed
– to try foods that are surprisingly not that bad
– to “grow up” and become more independent, all the while being dependent on my new family
– to be filled with a sense of peace and hope for the people I meet as I get to know them beyond their appearance or “problems”
– to cry-tears of joy, tears of sorrow, tears of laughter-I expect this trip will have it all
– to get incredibly homesick as I think about loved ones back home
– to be put at ease when I think about loved ones back home (and their support of me)
– to discover new talents, as well as weaknesses, that I never knew I had
– to be sweetly broken 🙂
– to have fun
God only know the rest of what this trip has in store but I’m game! Bring it!
