this is from 9/20:

I am currently lying in my bed, in a room shared with 11

flights (granted, 3 of them got me to LAX). Q & R squads finished our first
briefing on Saturday, and bright and early Sunday morning we began branching
out into our ministries for the month. During the week we were asked to create
a video to share Saturday night titled, “Things I Never Knew…” So, here is our
team’s incredible video, compliments and comments welcomed:
