It all started at the beginning of training camp. Going into training camp l had this outrageous expectation that everyone on my team was…well, a bunch of freaks! Seriously! I envisioned everyone being OFF THE WALL weird. In the end, it worked well in their favor as my ‘standard bar’ for them was set pretty gosh darn low (sorry guys). Well everyone and I mean EVERYONE on my squad (25 people) blew this silly standard out of the water!

My squad is comprised of 25 young adults and within our squad, we have 4 teams. SOOOO I would love to introduce you to MY team!! We are called the Ambassadors and here’s our starting (and ending) line up….

*Starting from left to right*

He’s an engineering major from South Dakota with a heart of gold and brain of knowledge. This is Calebbbbb Lippert!

She might be the shortest on our team but she is the powerhouse with years of wisdom under her belt. Coming all the way from North Carolina…Saraaaaa Graham!

I refer to this South Carolinian as Krazyyyy Kelley due to her spontaneity and joyous personality, she can bring a smile to your face anytime of the day…Kelleyyyyy Kruse!

This Georgian has a contagious laugh and a welcoming personality, this girl is nothing short of a person you want around all the time…Courtney Howardddd!

This is our golf master from Michigan with a calming presence and yearning for God, lemme introuduce to Willlll Patton!

And Ima cheese curd loving, fisherman who loves the Lord MORE than cheese curds and fishing….Rachaellll Thearin

WE DEPART ON AUGUST 7th TO EL SALVADOR! I left Wisconsin today for launch in Atlanta…the days are flying by and I am thanking God for every last one. The goodbyes are hard but I know full well the hard goodbyes mean I have something to come home to. I am beyond thankful for my friends and family who have helped me with this transition and packing. Another thing I’m thankful for is being able to eat a bushel full of deep fried cheese curds before leaving my beautiful state. God Bless America.
