These are some things that I hope to experience during my mission trip with the World Race.  While the full list is much longer, I thought you might enjoy reading about the things that I am excited about.  So here are my expectations of my mission trip…

To be emotionally, physically, and spiritually drained, but be encouraged and lifted out by God and my team
 
To eat foods that make me question my sanity, but ending up liking at least one of them
 
To continue to learn that things in other cultures are not neccessarily wrong, they are just different
 
To be broken and healed
 
To miss my friends and family, but also find an amazing family with my fellow racers that exceeds my expectations
 
To understand the Kingdom of God in a new light
 
To be changed
 
To have friends/brothers/sisters all over the world
 
To take leadership, in whatever form, and rely on God for guidance
 
To meet people where they are and explain the love of the Father through Jesus Christ
 
To experience the world, expand my worldview, and come away with a greater understanding of life
