For those of you who don't know, here on the world race there is a position known as squad leader. Squad leaders basically run the show out here on the field. They are the first to find out all the good stuff like where we will be in each country as well as the ministries we will be involved in. They spend a lot of time in prayer and visiting the various teams throughout the month making sure things are running smoothly and evaluating each one's growth. For the first three months, each squad is lead by 3 alumni world racers until they decide 3 new leaders from within our squad have some idea of what is going on and are capable of taking their place. laugh

By the time Nicaragua rolled around, I was both looking forward to and dreading the possibility of team changes. I knew my team and they knew me so the idea of starting over again wasn't thrilling. I guess it was a good thing they were asking God's opinion and not mine! He knows what He is doing. For example, he put me on this new team to whom I love dearly and look forward to spending possibly the next seven months with!
