Mission Trip to India

YEAP! My third trip to India. Every trip is a new learning curve for me. So much lessons learnt with amazing breakthroughs and testimonies. In the beginning, I have no idea what makes me say "yes" but I have no regrets. My third trip, I went with Rus and Mich. It's my first time working with Mich, I should say it's quite a good experience. We have different working style, different ideas, sometimes it even spark off a little fire in my heart, yet I know it's all God's plan that we're in the same team. I come to learn to love, love and love even more because that's one of the commandments.

Before the trip, we had mission trainings for about 2-3 mths or even more. We learnt and practised dance each time we met and it's my first time learning contemporary dance. Kinda difficult for such an unflexible person like me but I really enjoyed it. That's only one of the things I've learnt. We left on 15th Aug and reached on 16th. Had a good night rest and woke up to pack our bagpacks to get ready to leave for another town, Dhamapuri. It's my first time taking the train in India and good thing I never gave much thought about the cleanliness on train except for the TOILET! I'm quite a cleanliness freak thus I planned to try to control my bladder as much as possible if I could initially. Like any other normal bladders, I couldn't hold on much longer and I went to check the status of the toilet. GOOD THING, it's quite acceptable and not as bad as I imagined.

Having the best during mission trips is not a usual thing yet we had it. We took the A2 class, meaning there's a/c, we packed loads of food from Singapore as you can see in the photo. Ba gua biscuits, sweets, canned salmon, tuna, instant noodles and mushie soup. We even spent 2 nights in a hotel.
