Becky

Hi, I'm Becky, I'm 18, I've just finished college and this will be my first time going to India. With less than a week to go before we set off on this journey, so many thoughts are rushing through my head. Firstly, "oh my gosh, I'm going to India" is quite a prominent one! For someone who has never travelled out of Europe before, the idea of India is, I suppose you could say, exotic! Secondly, "oh my gosh, I'm going to India?" (said in a slightly more high pitched tone with emphasis on the question mark at the end) pretty much sums up how the past few days have felt as the realisation slowly dawns upon me that we are actually going and it is no longer just small talk about how much you've raised or general questions about how you're feeling but the truth is you haven't really thought about it, cause life and in all honesty it feels like it's a thousand years away. And thirdly, "OH MY GOSH, I'M GOING TO INDIA!!!!!!!" (said in a slowish pace with the excitement building throughout- and yes all those exclamation marks are necessary) amongst everything else, all I feel is just pure excitement at the thought of two and a half weeks becoming a family with the team, growing in faith, meeting new people and serving for God's glory. I am slightly concerned about the heat and humidity, as what with England's most recent mini heatwave, I've kinda noticed that I, to put it nicely, wilt! So prayer for coping with the change in temperature and atmosphere would be greatly appreciated. Also just the whole concept of change is becoming a struggle with me and I know that after a few days of settling down, everything will feel somewhat 'normal', whatever normal is (it's a topic for another day, I know that much) so just prayer for settling in and getting adjusted to the change would also be fantastic! Anyways, that's all for now! I hope you enjoy reading the updates on this blog :)
