During my time here I have had so many different experiences… God has used me in ways I never thought possible and has helped me conquer a big fear of mine, claustrophobia.  I went into the cave in Duffield VA to go find the waterfall that Conda, our project leader was talking about along with 2 other people from my church, City on a Hill. A few times I started to get really scared and one of my team members would ask if I was okay and I would close my eyes and ask God to help me to push on, to go beyond fear-and he helped me. Eventually we started to hear loud running water… like a water fall!

We all started screaming with cheer and excitement! We decided to take off our shoes and socks to get in the water and try and get closer to the falls. Needless to say we did and took pictures! A few slips, scratches, and a bruise or two but God helped us through! And we came back with proof that we all made it to the falls! (Those Pics were not that easy to get but so worth it!)– Mary (edited)
