Literally it seems like just yesterday it was December and I was applying, interviewing and finding out that I had been accepted to go on the World Race. Not saying that Decemeber-July has been easy and all filled with wonderful responses of me leaving but the Lord has shown his faithfulness throughout it all.
tomorrow I will get in a car with two fellow world racers and drive 3.5 hrs to Georgia for training camp. yes tomorrow… and yes i still have yet to start packing.
im incredibly excited to meet my squad who I have got to know over facebook and texts. cause all yal know K SQUAD is the BOMBBB 🙂
thinking back to December it seemed like a dream to be saying that I was going on the World Race. It seemed like years away, but after getting all my gear and placing it out, it hit me that September which is only a month and a couple weeks away I will be leaving for 11 months. While I know that the things I will experience and learn will out weigh the things I will be missing, it still makes me sad that I wont be able to call my mom anytime I want, or I wont see/talk to some of my family for almost a year.
I have read many blogs trying to prepare myself for training camp. I am trying to have no expectations of what the week will look like. But the things that I have heard like our whole squad which is like 65 ppl fitting on a school bus with all our gear and having to sleep there for a night. like reallly?! or having to eat fish head soup! Just by hearing this stuff makes me nervous. One I love to sleep and two I can be a picky eater and fish head soup does not sound like something I would like. But for the next week I will be put out of my comfort zone and I will enjoy it!
Also have you seen the forecast for next week in Tocco Falls, GA?! Lets just say its calling for thunderstorms and rain EVERY DAY! That shall also be a fun adventure!
Please keep my squad and the other 3 squads that will be at training camp in your prayers.
love, Savannah
