Only three more days left until training camp! Packing for this trip has been stressful considering I can only bring two bags with me. It’s going to be hard to leave behind most of my things and even harder to leave behind my people. With that being said, here are some of the things I am bringing with me:

  • 8 Shirts
  • 3 pairs of shorts
  • 4 pairs of pants
  • 2 maxi skirts
  • Sweatshirt

• sleeping pad + air pump
• A small fan
• Two journals
• Bible
• Pencil pouch
• Shoes
  • tennis shoes
  • chacos
  • sandals
  • blundstones

Day pack:

• Contacts (disposable)
• Two books (to share with my squad)
• Essential oil bug spray

I am also so happy to announce that I have less than $2000 left to raise! I am hoping to be fully funded by December. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated and helped get me to 88%! Please be praying for my squad as we start to head off, specifically for our health as a few people are starting to get sick and for our hearts as we say goodbye to family and friends.

Next stop: Gainesville!
