Hey everyone! I’m sorry its taken me so long to update y’all on everything that happened at training camp. It’s taken me awhile to process everything that happened, but I’m hoping I can accurately describe it to y’all now! In this post I will be breaking down what an “average” day at training camp looked like for me and my squad!
My day would usually start off around 6:00 a.m. Most mornings my squad and I had to pack all of our gear up by 7:30. Then we would break up into our smaller teams for team devo time! Our smaller teams are who we will be serving with daily while we are on the field! I have an awesome team of 6 girls I get to live life with over these next 9 months, and I couldn’t be more stoked to do life with them! Our team name is Selah! If you would like to get to know more about each of them check out the tab on my blog called meet my team! Anyway, after team devos we would all head to breakfast around 8:15. Food at training camp was good…but it was a little crazy sometimes! Each day we would get to experience food from different parts of the world which we will soon be going too! So one day was Asia day, Africa day, village day, and so on. My favorite day was India day because we got chai at lunch, and I may or may not have almost cried because chai is my favorite!
After breakfast we would have time with our whole squad, so the 47 people I will be traveling alongside!!!! I really can’t put into words how amazing my squad is, I can’t wait to see what God is going to do in each of our lives over this next year! Love ya T squad! (Also squad wars was just for fun, but T squad won the whole thing!!! We really did let the big dogs eat.) (Squad wars is where all 6 squads face off in games and challenges for the last day of camp!) All squad time was filled with games, prayer, and getting to know each other better!
Then it was off to lunch for another crazy meal. After lunch we would usually have a session or 2 over a bunch of different topics! The 3 main things we covered throughout the week were: intimacy with God, community living, and everything missions could entail. After sessions were over we would get our squads sleeping arrangements. Oh the sleeping arrangements. Some nights it looked like sleeping in a “airport” with around 100 people, other days it was cramped community tents. Honestly, I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. Finally, the day would start to come to a close with dinner, worship, and a refreshing bucket shower.
