Dear Family & Friends,
Hello everyone! I hope this letter finds you all happy, healthy, and enjoying the beautiful Fall weather. I’ve been blessed in getting to enjoy some of that Fall weather the past few weeks-admiring all the colors on a hike through the woods and even getting to stop and play in some leaves (well, my teammates did anyway). Things are going really well for me here-physically, emotionally, spiritually. I couldn’t ask for much else!
I’m currently in Turkey and it’s absolutely beautiful here. There is so much history to this country that it’s crazy just to even think about. I really won’t be able to provide many specifics as to where I am or the things I’m doing due to safety and such but I can assure you that everyone is safe and things are good. Turkey as a whole has fewer Christians per capita than any other country, including Saudi Arabia and has roughly one church for every million people. I couldn’t be more excited to be here, get to know people, and to just spread truth.
The other piece of information I’d likely to share with you is that I have a new team. If you read 
my latest blog you probably already know that BUT, we all slip up sometimes 🙂 Team Fanatic is pretty spectacular and I’m really quite excited to see the things God is going to do through us this month and the ones to come.
So, to conclude this oh so interesting newsletter, I’d ask that you keep the following in your prayers:
- Team Fanatic–that we may just join together as one unified family–ready, willing, and able to serve God in all that we do
- K squad–for unity among all of us as one body, as well as individual teams-that everyone would just embrace the changes with open arms and press in
- for Mike, Denise, and Tamica (new squad leaders)–that God would just strengthen them and rise them up to be the amazing leaders that they are, while always keeping their focus on Him
- for the people of Turkey–that God may go before us to soften the hearts of all those we meet so they may be ready to hear the truth we offer
God bless!!
