Sarah brings a fresh perspective to missions, travel and life and we are all looking forward to seeing what God will do as we follow His heart to India.

The Journey Continues - Pat

=============================================

I am very excited for my first mission trip with Pat and Gary. Although, I have traveled internationally before, I have never been somewhere quite like India and definitely haven't done any kind of ministry while I was traveling. This is a very big and new experience for me. I can't wait to see where it leads. 

With only a couple weeks to go until we leave, I am constantly racking my brain for what to bring and wondering what I'm bound to forget. I am incredibly gifted at doing things last minute. I think and I think, I talk about it and talk about it and then before I know it, it's time to go and I still haven't done a single thing. Fingers crossed, I am actually proactive about getting everything laid and planned out. I need to be prepared for this trip.

I'll have to be ready in more ways than just what I am going to pack since this is more than a vacation. I am going over VBS lessons to help out and teach the kids. I'm thinking about what colors I'll need for the bracelets I'm going to make with them if there's time. I am praying and trying my best to spend some quality time with God so I can be spiritually prepared for what He has waiting for me.

I have a feeling it's going to be a one-of-a-kind experience. At Pat and Gary's request, I will be making periodic posts along with her sister, Cyndy, about our fantastic trip.
