I wrote this from training camp and thought I would paste it here...
Preparation and Anticipation
I am so excited to be in India. I feel like I've been waiting so long already, so at first, training camp seemed like it would be a drag. To be honest, it would be really easy to allow myself to be anxious to just get this ovetrwith and get out of here. But already being exposed to what it might be like on the field, I have felt a little overwhelmed. I fell like I'm tumbling down a hill and can't stop myself. God is using this time to prepare me in ways I didn't even know I needed to be preapared.
Getting to know the girls on my team has been pretty fun. It usually isn't easy for me to find how I fit within a group. It just takes time and mutual experiences shared in order for me to feel like I can be myself and be known as who I am. Already within our team, walls have been coming down. We have been able to be honest with each-other and I would say we are off to a great start :)
I still have a few worries about details of travel, luggage, health, safety, and some stuff that still needs to be taken care of, but the attitudes of staff here are reassuring and comforting. All is well, and we set off tomorrow!
