Hello  brothers and sisters in Christ! Welcome to my very first blog! These past couple of days have already been such an eye opener to me. And its not even a scratch on the surface to what god has in store for my team and I. When I arrived at the airport and found my team. Everyone was increadably nice and wanted to know more about me. I knew right then there this was going to be such a amazing trip! After everyone arrived to the airport my team and I rode a train (which was my first time) to the Safe House in Atlanta. When we arrived there we got to know each...

This journey has been extraordinary and I have yet to even leave the States! Training camp has stretched me. Everything from growing my character and confidence in the Lord to taking showers with a hose to just letting go and dancing without a care during Super Fun Morning Time; I can feel each of these strengthening who I am and beginning to lay down the foundation for who I will be at the end of this journey.                 I have always known that I have walls built up between me and God. I have no idea why, I...

     On Friday we arrived at the Atlanta airport to meet up with the real life teams. When i got there there were already a few people from my team there. I intoduced myself and waited until the rest of the 20 others arrived. Upon arrival of the entire team we departed the airport.    After riding the marta from the airport to downtown Atlanta we then treked about half a mile with all  of our luggage to the Safe House. It was safe. We put are things down and ate a pb&j with some chips for dinner. After dinner we went out on the streets to talk to...

La verdad que no se donde empezar. Esta semana ha sido una locura. Siento que tengo tanto que contarles, pero no se como ponerlo todo en palabras. Llegamos al aeropuerto el viernes y ahi nos conocimos todos. Honestamente fue miedoso llegar de un sitio donde todo el mundo te conoce y te quiere y luego llegas a un sitio donde nadie te conoce y tienes que empezar de nuevo con todo el mundo. Pero pues ha sido chevere conocer a todas las ninas y ninos de mi equipo. Entonces el viernes nos quedamos en un shelter de personas sin casa en el centro de Atlanta. Fue super duro, solo ver como vive...

          When first arriving in the Atlanta airport I didn’t really know what to expect. I knew that the next few days at training camp were going to be hard, but I didn’t really know what all that entailed. Originally I thought that by it being hard we were going to be roughing it the whole time to prepare us for what’s to come. But I soon realized that this was not the case. The past couple of days have really been hard in challenging personal issues and the barriers that truly prevent us from our full potential....

The past four days have been mind-opening for all of us. Constant support through out and worship have been a big part as well as the super fun activities. Some of the super fun activities included dance-offs as well as painting. We have been learning how to be unified through Christ as a team as brothers and sisters. It has been wonderful to get a chance to make new friendships that could last like a lifetime. Everyone is genuinly kind and caring. I couldn't ask for a better team. The gifts God has given everyone here is amazing and the staff is incredible. So many God-loving people...

               By this time tomorrow, I’ll be in another country. I still can’t wrap my mind around that. Training camp has been pretty crazy, but I feel like our team has meshed together really well. The first day in Atlanta, after riding the Marta, we arrived in a place called the SafeHouse. They’re an organization that provides ministries for the homeless and that’s where we would be sleeping for the first night. Late that night, we were given the opportunity to go out onto the streets and just talk to people. We walked a...

It is my fourth day here at training camp and today is the last day we will be here. Tomorrow my team and i will be on our way flying to the beautiful Guatemala lands. Upon arriving we stayed the first night at a safe house. Kind of like a shelter. Our first activity was to walk around atlanta, Georgia and just talk to the people around us. It happened to be Dragoncon weekend where everyone is dressed up in costums and such. it was pretty much the most interesting thing i observed in a while. first i met these two men from brazil with my one teammate and we were just making casual...
