It's yet to settle in properly, I'm still in a bit of shock to be honest! The relief of finally knowing is huge, so that's great. I'm also very excited about the team i'm on. I'm the joint youngest, and the team is made up of mainly very head-strong people with leadership-based attributes - so it's slightly intimidating, but at the same time we all get along very well and i have full confidence that we're going to do so many amazing things together.
The sad news is that my closest friend here on the DTS, Caleb, has been placed on the second team going to PaPua New Guinea, so same country, but different mission and different location. I'm going to find it really hard, as we get along really well and have been such a huge support to each other on our journey so far, it'll be tough to say goodbye for a total of 9 weeks. It also turns out that almost all of my closer friends are on the other outreach teams too. So it's looking to be a testing time for me, but i know whole-heartedly that God is in control of this, and He will work all things together for the good of those who love Him, and have been called according to His purpose.
That makes me smile.
And on that bombshell, (oh how i miss TopGear), thank you and good night!
Love, Matt x
Prayer Request
This is a really emotional time for a some people, as obviously many have been left with questions/doubts/anxieties about their locations or teams, so your prayers for me and the team would be really appreciated right now, thank you so much.
