First and foremost, I would just like to thank everyone who has supported me and prayed for me for this journey that I am about to take. You have had a big part in what is about to become the best experience of my life and change me forever. These first few days of training camp have been incredible. I didn’t really know what to expect from training camp, but I can say that I wasn’t expecting to get as much out of it as I have so far. I kind of thought we would play games, get to know each other and find out more about what we would be doing in Honduras. I felt like Honduras would be the time where I would grow and learn, but I was definitely wrong. I feel like I have already grown so much since being at camp, but more than anything I felt like I have heard truth and been so encouraged I can’t even put it into words. There have been some things in particular that I have been praying about a lot here lately and people have addressed them with me more than once, as if God is just reinforcing in me that He has heard what I have been asking for. That is huge for me because for a while I have felt like God has been silent. I am so excited to see how much God wrecks my life for Him in these next couple months.
I am so stoked about the team God has blessed me with. He definitely had His hand in bringing us together. Everyone is awesome and we just get along so well. It is crazy how close we already are. It honestly is like we have known each other for years. We all feel so comfortable around each other and are able to be open and share what God is doing in our lives or has placed on our hearts at the time. My leader, Jennifer, has been amazing so far as well. She really has a heart for God and speaks His truths. She has been so encouraging and intentional with me, which are both things I need. I can’t wait to spend these next few months with my group because I know we are not only going to continue to keep getting closer, but I know that I am going to learn so many things from each and every one of them. This team is going to be the hands and feet of the Lord in Honduras, but not only am I hoping that we will be able to bless the people down there, but I know more than anything, we are going to be blessed by them and come back looking completely different.
