Amanda Berglund - Not Just Another Fun Prime Time Retreat
The reason i decided to go to New Orleans at first was because i thought " yeah a PTSM retreat like soul fest and camp wooo fun stuff!" I also knew I would be helping people who I had only seen on tv and never really thought I could ever actually help. As things started to get going, I realized how big of a deal this really is. I began to realize that i was going to be pushed to the limits both phsycially and mentally. This is something that both scares me and exhillarates me. I know that this experience is going to turn my emotions inside out and I am going to feel things I've never felt before. I have heard so many great things about missions trips and how amazing you feel afterwards. I am really excited to experience it all. What made me really want to go after I had already signed up was how good other people were going to feel because of things that I had done and how good I would feel about making them happy. I love giving people gifts and seeing their reaction and I feel like this is going to be one big group gift that will change people's lives. I can't wait for the feelings I'm going to get during and after that process.
