I've been in Gainesville for two days now, and I am somehow even more energized and ready for this adventure now than I was before I left. Over the past two days, I have been able to meet my amazing team leader, my awesome new coaches, as well as getting to know this squad that I will be serving alongside.

I am also learning how to strengthen my faith. I learned how to sabbath effectively, I am learning how His word is powerful, but also practical. I have heard beautiful anecdotes and testimonies, and I am so excited to create more of my own.
