Favorite part of CT:
The second year as a SS, my partner and I were very close and she helped me to be a stronger leader and step out of my comfort zone. I loved seeing how all the recruits had grown throughout the week and how open they were with others and God, especially the last day singing and praising. CT has brought many people who push me to be a better version of myself and continue to grow in my faith.
