Even though I hear about their lives almost every day through our group message, I still love reading my fellow UK YAGM friends' writings - it's a reminder all over again of the fantastic things they are doing. Many of us keep blogs, and as I've mentioned before, we are all required by the program to send a newsletter every two months. This keeps our home churches, families, and communities up-to-date on our lives abroad, and serves as a way to reflect on our growth.
Since I write a lot on here about me, I thought it would be nice to share a little bit more about some of the amazing people who are making this year really worth it. I've mentioned before, but it's worth saying again: My YAGM cohort is THE BEST. I love this fun, crazy, emotional, thoughtful, bright, and brilliant cohort of mine.
Here are some of our recent writings. Just click on the person's name to read one of their recent blog posts or newsletters. Enjoy!
