A Ready Heart & Desire to Go

I hope the holidays are treating you well! I am finishing the final preparations for my trip to India, which is in 6 days! Our team had a packing party last Sunday and seeing everything packed and ready to go made everything seem so real.  I have gotten all of my shots and I have finished buying most of the things I will need including a mosquito net tent, malaria and garlic pills (they will supposedly repel bugs), books for my 15.5 hour plane ride, and long skirts to fit the conservative culture.  Even with all of these preparations, I don't think anything can truly prepare me to embark on this incredible journey.  I am so excited to experience the culture and people for myself after so many months of learning everything I can about the nation.  My heart has never been so ready for a mission trip before and I have felt God really preparing me mentally and spiritually for what I will experience.  This process of preparation, fundraising, and prayer has brought me to a greater understanding of His heart for the people of India and His role in sending me there.  I feel so affirmed that God will use my team to impact the people of India and I cannot wait for Him to use me!
