Today is the day I leave for Georgia for a month of training. We will be training for the field and culture training as well. This month will not only just be training it will be a month in a new environment, new meeting people, and spending time with God in prayer.

Also, today was a sad day but also an amazing day. Sad because I said goodbye to all my friends and family, which I thought this would not come. An amazing day because I am entering a new season of life. Where God is going to grow me in ways I couldn’t even imagine. Since in uncomfortable is where you grow the most. It Was also a good day because I beat Travis in chess for our last game. For those who do not know I played chess with amazing guy named Travis for the last couple months. Now the score between us is 8-3 with him having 8 and me having 3 now. But over those 11 games I loved every second even though I lost 8 of the 11 games. The impact that he has had on me so far, I can not even explain. The point of me telling you guys this is not only to brag about me winning 3 of the 8 games but to say the littlest thing like playing chess with someone can make the biggest impact.
