Bwam Recap

In short, BWAM was amazing. And I know people always say that, but I feel like Boise and Create Common Good was truly a one of a kind BWAM experience. Things are detailed much fuller in our lovely team blog, but here is a quick personal recap.

Vision
- it was inspiring to see the leadership, passion, and ultimate vision that the team leaders of Create Common Good had. It inspired me to have a better vision of my own life and future endeavors. Once that is established, it's only a matter of hard work achieving the desired results.

Hand-Selected
- it was thrilling to be able to apply creativity and our personal skills to the projects that we were assigned to do throughout the week. Not only were we able to leave a tangible mark on the organization, but we all felt like God had put us on team Boise for a reason.

Fresh Air
- even though we didn't do it for long periods of time or anything, working on the farm, shoveling and wheelbarrowing, was a refreshing time. Something about being in the brisk air and doing some good old fashioned manual labor was just so much more appealing than say, cleaning out an attic.

Eye-Opening
- it was really cool to get to know the refugees there, and just talk to them and get to know their stories. In SoCal, most people have similar stories and lives. These refugees have had incredibly hard lives, and yet they still managed a sheepish grin and joyful spirit.

Go Team
- once again blessed with an awesome team that made a 15 hour drive not so bad at all. Just going through this experience with them was a huge blessing - icing on the cake. Even with the totes pops abbrevs.
