Hi guys!!

We have officially been on this journey for awhile. sorry for the lack of posting. we were having trouble with the blogs for a bit

and I just figured out how to use the site. why don't I share the beginning of the trip with y'all.

We all met up at the airport in New York. Getting there was a little hectic

 because of traffic and construction, but once we arrived it was great. When we met our team, there was no awkwardness. We all instantly clicked.

Travel day was long but fun. My favorite part was probably sitting on the floor with everyone playing games while waiting to board. After a long day of travel, we finally arrived in Albania.

The drive to our Airbnb, which we stayed in for a week, was absolutely gorgeous. That week was training camp. We start off our mornings with a 6am group workout. I did my workout with a kitten the other day.

 After that we begin classes at 8. We study Worlds Greatest Problems, Storytelling, Ethical AI, Self-Leadership, and Career Development. We finish classes at 12. We have lunch at 1 then ministry and free time. We spent training camp up in the mountains on a beautiful lake.

We had two towns on either side of us within walking distance. One was 10 minutes and the other was 40. While we were at training camp, we went into town daily. We found this café called Bon-bons, which quickly became our hangout spot. I loved going into town every day, especially when we walked down to the swimming area and played volleyball before jumping off the dock and practicing our dives.

After all the fun and crazy of the day we always end in worship. 
Training camp was amazing. We are currently working hard on school and have been assigned to our squads and churches we are ministering too weekly. Thank you all for keeping me and my team in your prayers. I ask that you guys continue to pray for us as we continue this journey. I will send more updates soon!

Love y’all so much!
