I am sitting in my hotel room in Atlanta right now completely exhausted and it is so weird to think that this is only the very beginning. Yesterday and today consisted of many training sessions, talks, real world role playing, and eating meals with my team on our $5 a day budgets.Just today we have talked about identity,sharing the gospel through our stories,health,safety,what we need to "bring" on the World Race, natural disasters, documentation, levels of awareness, and human trafficking.We also learned about being offended,what it leads to and how to avoid it.Welcome to The World Race! Amidst everything that is going on I still don't think it has hit me yet that I am actually leaving. That it will be 11 months until I get to embrace y'all (it really catches on:). I still feel like I am at training camp and I will see you guys in a week. Unfortunately that is not the case and I am up for a pretty rude awakening at any moment:(.
I wish I had an IPhone….
Never before have I desired to pay a monthly internet fee for something I could get on my computer. At this moment I have no phone at all. I cannot call my parents and tell them that I am safe, and I can't call or text any of my squad mates to see where they are if I can't find them.I already miss you guys. I already want to hear your voices, but I know this is where I am meant to be.
My kindle does not get snapchat or instagram. I want you to experience these things with me that I am experiencing. I want you to hear the ways in which I am being trained for this journey. I want you to see the passion and love in the eyes of all my squad mates, I want you here to taste a piece of my first Waffle House waffle.I want you to be able to experience community and worship in this way. But alas I do not have an IPhone:(.
I guess you will just have to follow my blog;)
