Learning to Expect the Unexpected:Training Camp

     I, having been on an Adventures in Missions trip before, had a few expectations of what training camp would be like.  I expected it to be mostly like last time, and in some ways it was.  I expected to be sleeping in tents with outside showers and porta-pots.  I also expected super high humidity and a little Georgia heat.  When I first arrived at camp, I was pleasantly surprised.         I made a short hike up the little hill to our CABINS.  Unexpected, but I'm totally not complaining.  These things have beds,...

Woah, Training Camp!

     When I would think about training camp, I was not thinking of it as actual camp. I had no idea that it would be like hard core, mega fun summer camp. I was pleasantly suprised! I ADORE it. Although we slept outside on tarps the first night here, i'm suprisingly well rested and totally stoked to get onto the field.      God has really done some amazing things for me since i've been here. The other day we went on a hike carrying our "baggage" from our lives and it was so awesome to let that all go. Worship at night is totally...
