As most of you know I was at the World Race training camp from June 4th-14th! The week and a half I was there was no doubt life changing. It is crazy how much information and feels they can jam into such a short amount of time. I could write a five page paper on all of the information we learned. The facts about the Bible and about the trip were numerous. Even more important than all this is the connections that were made with the 35 amazing people that will be with me on this journey! So instead of telling you about camp (if you want to know watch my squad mates videos. They are great) I am going to tell you about the people!
