My squad has experienced some major bonding over the last week, and it was with a divine appointment, too. I had started to become anxious and worried about the members I was about to spend 11 months with. However, these people are absolutely incredible, and there is no doubt in my mind that God had something to do with putting us together. They had the idea for each of us to post blog answering the following questions so we could get to know each other, as well giving YOU the opportunity to get to know us.
Enjoy! 🙂
