After Avant accepts your application to become a missionary they require you to go through COP. I spent the middle two weeks of January at COP in KC MO, known as Kansas City, Missouri. During this time I experienced a myriad of emotions!
It all started off with extreme extrovertedness...
that moved into lower key extrovertedness...
that then transformed into extreme extroverted cryingness...
which then moved into extreme extroverted crying and outward frustationness...
I think possibly around day 9 I found some middle ground. I was overwhelmed but could smile and it not be completely fake! Or I could voice my frustration/exctiedness without scarring everyone around me. Yes, I know I can be frightening at times :)
But overall my COP experience was an amazing one!!! I want to share some pictures if I may...
In the matter of two weeks I made some fabulous friends! It is so amazing what being around like-minded people who are your age can do to your soul. Mine soared! Here are some pictures of my new wonderful friends:
This is my most amazing spiritual family the Johnson's! They came to my Appointment Service!
Cassie and I hit it off from the very beginning! She will be living just a few hours north of me in Italy!
Katie is an amazing lady! I so enjoy her lively spirit and honesty! She and her husband are going to Mali, Africa!
The whole COP crew
The candidates were required to put on a skit during the Appointment Service... I believe it was a success! We made the room laugh, alot and out loud (LAL and LOL!)
