As I pack my backpack with a tent, sleeping bag, clothing, Bible, journal and toiletries I am excited to meet my squad, squad H aka World Rice!  I will be leaving within the hour, to drive to Marietta, GA to spend a few days with 22-24 of the girls on my squad.  I am looking forward to meeting everyone in person.  Facebook pages, chats and Zoom video conference calls are great but there is nothing that can replace face to face time.  My squad mate is letting us camp out at her home.  We'll all share meals, swim, talk, paint nails, make tutus and flower headbands while getting to know one another.  What a blessing this pre-game time will be.  Don't worry, the guys on the squad are not left out.  They are meeting up today and hiking 30 miles for a few days of bonding time.  I am grateful for a squad that understands the need for relationship building!

We'll head over to Training Camp in Gainesville, GA on Saturday.  AIM is a bit ominous about what TC entails but I think that is all part of the adventure, to be prepared for anything.  I've posted a short video about TC.  We will be at TC from the 12-19.

Please be praying:

Traveling mercies for the more than 200 people coming to Training Camp (there are 4 squads, 50 + people per squad)

Unity for the squads.  Relationships to be built.
