We were asked to write a blog about how we felt before leaving on this mission trip. Here is what I am expecting…
 
Having never been away from home for more than 4 months, I expect to miss my family. I also expect that the joy of seeing others praise the same God, being healed in His name, realize that someone loves them, and share thier stories of how they began their relationship with Christ, will go far beyond me missing my family.
I expect to build a community of believers with the team that will be traveling together. A community that will be there for each other in time of need, sorrow, and joy.
I expect God to do amazing things, and my eyes to be opened to things I could never imagine. I expect to struggle with things and learn things that will be valuable for the rest of my life.
In one sentence, I expect to be changed and to bring change.
