Base Camp, Day 1, Entry 1

Well we just got to "iGosia." Two words about base camp... HARD CORE! I thought I was gonna cry coming through 'customs.' But it was made up for when I got outside. God got me through that by sending Nick Gainey my way. He knew what he was doing and got us through pretty quick. I'm already missing familiar faces, Mom, Dad, Ms. Dawn, Mr. Dan... more than I can list. It's gonna be weird not texting my friends till I fall asleep but at least Bob is here. I've seen Adam, Gabby, Molly, Amanda, Tee, and Jeanie from my trek. We're sitting in a room with everyone. Me, Gabby, Adam, Tee, and Jeanie are the only ones here. I can already feel God working here. I'm praying hard for strength and patience. It's been more mental than physical. Its gonna be hard, but will better prepare me for Tokyo.
