Speaker: Tema Sapoi-Finau, US-2 Serving in Tampa, FL
Tema Sapoi-Finau: A year into my service, there are so many things I have learned about myself, but the overarching theme seems to be reshaping my relationship with God. Carrying out traditional ways that I grew up in the church that still resonate with me, but also leaving a few things behind that don't necessarily fit the life that I've established for myself here. Incorporating new ways that I unconventionally see God outside the four walls of a church and within that, reassuring myself that any kind of change is hard, and sometimes it might hurt, but you'll always learn something about yourself and continue to grow.
