Expectations

Hi everyone,

It's the night before we fly out to Kolkata and I'm really looking forward to the trip! The waiting is now over and I feel so blessed by the love shown to me in my preparation by Jenni, family, friends, and church friends. I will miss you all! It means so much to feel people are thinking and praying for me and the whole team! I know we will see some challenging things but feel secure that God is with us as a group and will give us all the strength we need!

I am excited about seeing the diveristy of cultures in India and also to get to know more about the Indian way of life - I know the boys like cricket so I want to play them! Im really interested to see all the good work Christians are doing across the city and to see the hospitals and establishments set up by Mother Theresa. Im sure I will be humbled and shocked by the poverty over there, but am hoping it will enable me to be a better person.

I hope this will be a time of spiritual and personal growth for me, and that I can use the trip to raise awareness of the amazing stuff BMS is doing!

Looking forward to blogging again once I arrive.

Take care, Sam x
