Wow what to say about training camp? Well I guess the thing that I noticed the most is how much God worked on my heart this past week. He challenged me to open up and be real, To empty out all the garbage that I had been storing up inside of me and to replace it all with Jesus!!!! So now when anyone looks at me I hope that they see nothing of me and only Jesus shining out of me!!
Ok also while at training camp we got to learn how to eat in all the different cultures like in Africa the women sit on the ground while the men sit at tables and we got to eat with our fingers!!!!! (I loved eating with my fingers I think mostly because my mom would never let me do that at home!!)And also in most cultures the left hand is considered unclean and would not be used. We got to try all kinds of food of which the most interesting one was a rice porridge with salted baby sardines for breakfast!! Yum!!!
I was also privileged to meet all 50 plus people that make up my Squad, which is called V Squad. There were three other squads at camp as well making close to 200 people participating at training camp. (Lots of people to play Frisbee with). I consider the whole V squad to be the newest members of my ever growing family and I’m excited to grow with them in this adventure that God has called each and every one of us to go on!!! We were split us up into 8 smaller teams so that way we are able to share Gods love in more places at a time when we get to each country!!
My team is 6 women including my self, I’m excited to see how God is going to use us!! Please pray that we continue to grow closer to God and to each other in the next 2 months to come before we depart on this adventure!!
