Traveling to Thailand

My travel to Thailand began on June 3 when I drove down to Gainesville, Georgia with my parents. I was nervous at first because I didn’t know what to expect, but by the end of the first evening, excitement began to replace the nervousness. I was able to get to know my team which consisted of of 5 other girls and my leader. I have been very blessed by them.

One of the greatest things as a leader is to see your team members jumping into the unknown with full hearts and trusting that they are going to be making an impact where they are. Guatemala team 1 is in Antigua this month partnering with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) and the various ministries they are apart of.
