How will I feel? Will I be safe? Will I get sick? Will I be as excited in Haiti as I am now?
Ten of us have taken time out of our busy schedules to come together and travel to a country most of us have only read about. We all have questions. We all have doubts. We each will struggle to cope when we are pushed out of our comfort zones. Each of us will search to find purpose and meaning in what we will see.
The mission trip we signed up for months ago is now upon us. The pre-trip preparations are all complete. Items purchased, donations collected and everything is packed. We are now faced with a couple of days of quiet waiting and reflecting on what we are about to embark.
There will be joyous times. There will uplifting moments. There will also be days filled with introspection. All of this will come together to make a permanent imprint on us and the way we look at things. We all will be affected differently, but this is certain, we all will be affected.
