This is a blog written by our entire team. Our name is WOHC Tribe, which stands for Worthy of His Calling. We have no electricity or Wifi where we are living, so we are writing just one post for this week. We would like to introduce our family, friends, and supporters to the people we will be spending the next 9 months with. Also, on the sidebar of this blog, you can find links to my teammates’ blogs if you would like to follow them also.
