Happy Sunday everyone! Training camp in Georgia begins in just six days- wild! My squad will experience 2 weeks of training before launching on the field.

This summer, I have enjoyed spending time with all the people in my life. As it has come closer to training, I have felt anxiety, excitement, joy, fear, peace, and even sadness. Despite the often contrasting feelings, I hold tight to the truth that God has a plan greater than mine that I should deeply trust in.

Recently, our route has changed so here is the updated route: Guatemala, Romania, Albania, Turkey, Jordan, and Thailand.

I am reminded that no matter where we are headed geographically, our mission stays the same- to advance the Kingdom of God.

For the next few days, I will be resting, packing, and enjoying the last moments with my friends, family, and boyfriend.

Thank you to everyone who has given financial support, encouragement, and prayer.

Please pray for my squad that any chains we bring with us, would be broken and that we can find freedom and joy in this next year! Pray that we will embrace the change that is coming- living out of a backpack in unfamiliar places. Pray for safety and good health.

I am nearly fully funded! Raising $18,700 seemed like a feat 6 months ago yet there is no mountain too big that our God can't overcome. I feel undeserving and filled with gratitude.

I am filled with excitement to keep you all updated on this blog. Please pray that I would fall more in love with our creator and His creation each day!

With love, see you all soon.
