Training camp, wow, what an adventure it has been in the two short weeks I've been here, and I can hardly believe I still have one more week here before leaving for domestic ministry. This past week has been crazy, from getting baptized to being cussed out by a man with a lot of bitterness in his heart towards Jesus, this week has had lots of highs and lows.

I think my favorite part of the week was getting baptized and watching my squadmates get baptized as well. As I waited in line, and honestly for a little while before, I was just filled with so much anxiety, that I was shaking, especially my hands. As I stepped into the water, I tried so hard to be still, to be calm, but my mind was still running a hundred miles and hour. The craziest part though, is that as soon as I came
out of the water I felt at peace, and I felt so much joy. It was so amazing.

My most interesting experience this week was evangelizing in the Gainesville square this past Friday. We were split into teams, and then further split into groups of 2-3. I was paired with the amazing Maggie-Claire, who did an amazing job, and we talked to a good number of people. We met a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses, a Jewish woman, some Christians who refused prayer, a couple of pretty cool Christians who were happy to talk to us, and some women who believed more in the universe than Jesus.

Some other highs from the week were Squad Wars, which was a lot of fun, and we got to hang out and play games. We got to practice kid's ministry scenarios, and that was a lot of fun. We got to venture into civilization and by snacks and such for the first time since arriving at camp, and we overall had a pretty nice week.
