Hey everyone! I gotta start by thanking everyone. My family, friends, coworkers, church, and everyone else who has contributed in ANY way to help send me to Uganda. I thank God for putting such awesome supportive people in my life! It’s Monday June 4th and I have been in Georgia since Friday the 1st.

Our team has already grown so close and accepted each other, and it has only been a few days. I have been so inspired with the honesty and openness in our group chats.
