Training camp has come and in 2 days it will be done. For the work I am doing the next 9 months I will need training for it so World Race sets up a camp for a week to help us prepare for the field! If I could only give one word to describe it I would say demanding. If we weren’t eating breakfast, lunch or dinner we are worshipping, praying, or learning about Gods love and how good our Heavenly Father is.

I could go on and on about training camp but I will give you the bullet points

• We sleep in tents that we bought and put up for the entirety of the training camp.

• There isabout 6 squads present for training camp and roughly 126 young adults getting ready for an amazing year!

• It’s in Gainesville, Georgia from August 28-September 6th

• Each day is somewhat different from the day before but usually the day consisted of:

• 7:45am morning devo

• 8:30am breakfast

• 9:30am worship

• 10:15am sermon

• 1:00pm lunch

• 2:00pm team prayer

• 2:30pm break

• 5:30pm dinner

• 6:30pm clean up

• 7:00pm free time

• 11:00pm lights out

So quite a lot. Its a lot of sermons and worship that help us prepare. I am so grateful for all this knowledge I have so now I can better go serve the nations and serve!

How I am feeling is all over. This week has been a very busy but also hard few days. There has been days that i feel discouraged,  days I feel overwhelmed and days I feel on top of the world. But the big thing I learned this week is no matter how I am feeling God is in the center of it all blessed to be apart of all my emotions!

These next few weeks are a bit confusing but from September 6th to the 11th we are gonna do a domestic trip to Adrian Georgia to help build a base! Afterwards we will come back to training camp in Gainesville, Georgia to rest a few days and head out to Jamaica for 36 days (September 17 -October 22)! In Jamaica we will be building roofs and helping the community physically as well as emotionally.

I could really use prayers over the growth of our squad relationally as well as spiritually!

Thank you so much for constant prayers and your support!

Sincerely,

Anna
