my Axis adventure begins!!

Hey friends! I am sorry I have not been updating but I have not been able to get internet where I am staying, only when I am at work. So we have some down time and I am updating :)
Started training last week and it is kinda scary. So much material and three of the other team members were a part of Axis last semester so they already know all the material. So we are starting fresh. I am learning a TON which is so much fun. I have really missed learning since graduating college. The thesis of Axis is that the issue is NOT unanswered questions...the issue is unquestioned answers and that is our goal. To get students all over the country to ask themselves the hard questions to get those answers they never have gotten before. Going through the material is getting me to ask some pretty tough questions as well.
The Axis staff is so great! We have had a bunch of meals the past few days at different staff members houses and they have been amazing! Last night I learned, with another team member, how to make authentic corn tortillas and we had a mexican feast in celebration of Kings Day. Which is the Mexican holiday like our Christmas.
There are two teams that travel with Axis during a semester. One team is leaving bright and early tomorrow morning for Texas. My team leaves later in the month so we will be working on other presentations and preparations. I am excited to get on the road! Although I am not sure where I will be headed first I am excited to visit new places. :)
Please pray for the Axis staff as we start to head out. High schoolers are a tough crowd and I pray God can open their hearts and minds to some great conversations and thoughts.
More updates to come soon!!
