We were asked to write a blog about how we felt before leaving on this mission trip. Here is what imp expecting…

I expect…

To miss my family, and friends.

To miss seeing my little nephew Jace turn two

To miss axiom on Wednesday nights

To miss working on my truck with my dad, and grandfather. Who knows… maybe they will just finish it for me while im gone?

To miss all the flavor filled, unhealthy food I love to eat here

To miss the awesome feeling I get after I have fixed someone’s car for them

To sadly forget a lot of what I have learned as a mechanic

To acquire a lot of amazing new friends

To meet many wonderful people from all types of cultures

To be broken of my material needs, and learn to fully rely on God for everything ill ever need

To at times just want to come home.

To at times never want to leave where I am

To cry, whether they be tears of joy, or sadness

To find out where God want me to be, what he wants me to do, who he wants me to serve

To acquire a new taste for foods I would have never tried here… or just get so hungry that I don’t care what it tastes like and I just want something in my belly

To see God in ways I had never seen him

To be pushed to my braking points, both mentally, and physically

To learn to hear God better when he speaks to me by growing closer to him

To learn that I am in no way in control, and to just give everything I have up to God

To see God do great things for his kingdom with this group of people he is bringing together

To at one point, if not many times to be lost in a country ive never been to.
