Hey y’all! I’m currently on a plane heading to South Africa. My final destination is Swaziland! My squad and I have been traveling since 1am on Wednesday. I am close to falling asleep, so excuse any grammatical errors. I wanted to update you all about the past 3 weeks!

So I left home on the 24th and headed to Gainesville, Georgia for 10 days of Leadership Training. I learned a lot of cool things about discipleship and life. On Saturday, all the leaders headed down to a hotel in Atlanta to meet with our squad for Launch (a 3 day event of preparation that eventually sends off racers). Here are some photos of the past couple of days!
