On July 9th I went into training camp only knowing very few of my squad mates. The only thing I really knew about these people was what their tiny profile picture looked like in our groupme. I can’t lie to you, it was extremely intimidating and overwhelming at first. There were so many faces, so many names and so many very different personalities to learn.
But the MOMENT we arrived the excitement-filled screams and millions of hugs began. Little profile pictures turned into real people and everything started to feel a lot more like reality. People from all across the United States, all in one spot and all here for one purpose, to serve a God like no other.
LET ME INTRODUCE TO YOU B SQUAD!!!!!! :
These are the 41 beautiful, amazing, inspiring, encouraging and wildly loving people that Jesus has called me to embark on this crazy journey with. Let me just say, I have only truly known these people for a couple of weeks now and I don’t understand how I did life without them before. I didn’t know I needed these people until God placed them right in front of me. They completely redefine the word family. Every single person you see here have such a burning passion in their heart for the Lord and are so individually blessed with so many raw talents. It is absolutely inspiring.
B squad, I am so unbelievably excited to grow together, change together and learn together. Every single one of you taught be something so valuable just over training camp, I can’t even imagine what God has in store for us over the next 9 months.
NOW LET ME INTRODUCE TO YOU TEAM SELAH!!! :
Throughout the race, In some countries B squad can’t all stay together because there are so many of us. So within B squad, we got split into little teams of 5-8.
