You could not imagine the growth that has occurred at training camp in the past 4 days! When I came to training camp, I was expecting to get the basics on what Nicaragua is like, a run-down of what’s going to be going on, and lots of team bonding activities. WHOA!! I had no idea that God was going to rock my world before we even got to Nica!
