Friends and family, I’ve made it to ALBANIA!
And let me tell you, it is absolutely beautiful here! The food is delicious, and the people are so warm and full of life!
I don’t have wifi access that often here, but keep watching for blog updates! I’ll have a blog soon with a little info on Albania and our ministry this month.

For now, if some of you didn’t know, we had a team change at the beginning of last month. So for the next few weeks, I’d like to share an interview with you on individual teammates of mine.
This week, meet MAGGIE!
We were first bed-mates at Launch at the very beginning of this journey, and I have SO enjoyed getting to know this vibrant, strong, creative woman of God that reflects his beauty and love in so many ways. Here’s to many more laughs and time well spent as teammates and friends! Love you, Magnut!
Get to know Maggie with this interview conducted by our lovely teammate Joanna:
Maggie Higginbotham (23 years old)
5 of her favorite things: The mountains, horses, sunsets, traveling, naps
Hometown: Dallas, Texas
Birth order: Second out of 4
Favorite Color: Grey
Favorite Snack Food: Dried mango from Trader Joe’s
Favorite Flavor of Ice Cream: Sorbet, or Coffee ice cream
Biggest Pet Peeve: People paying more attention to their phones than where and how fast they’re walking
Crunchy or smooth peanut butter? Crunchy
Strangest thing eaten on the Race thus far: Probably something weird in India, or some sort of mystery meat in India or Nepal
What do you miss the most about home? “My bed that smells like clean laundry, autonomy, riding (horses), knowing where I am as well as knowing how to get where I want to be.”
What have you been reading lately? A Dog’s Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron, Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper, Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
What’s something that’s happened on the Race that made you laugh? “(giggles) Impromptu rap battles.”
How has your faith changed while on the Race thus far? “Oh my word. My faith has changed in that the Lord is much closer and much more real to me now than He was when I left. And I realize that, like, everyday decisions are what make the difference; everyday decisions make up the big decisions that define who you are and make up your character.”
What characteristic of the Lord do you feel like you’ve been encountering and learning about the most? “Probably His divine sovereignty over all things; no warfare, spiritual or otherwise, is too big for Him or out of his control… Just His supremacy as a whole.”
What’s one word you would use to describe your Race? Flexible
What’s something people can be praying for you? “Discipline. Spiritual discipline for sure. And just praise for how well the Race has gone thus far and a new team that rocks.”
