August 27th was the big day…leaving my family to come to Georgia for training camp. After an emotional Sunday morning saying goodbye to church family, I was pretty anxious about coming to training. I wasn't so sure what to expect. I expected a lot of sitting & listening to talks & basically just to be spiritually prepared for the 3.5 month journey we're about to embark on.

I flew into Georgia for a four day training camp instead. Day 1- Built my own shelter and slept on the ground after being awake for 30 + hours (awesome!… no, not really…) Day 2- Carried my emotional baggage on a mile long hike through a hot and humid forest, where I surrendered that baggage over to God, our Victor!
