This whole week has been so stressful for me, trying to get
everything together at the last minute. Not having enough funds to leave, etc…
It has been crazy insane for me. Still I am not done with everything. I am still
trying to process that I will be gone for a year. But, God has given me a peace
about everything going on.

I have been struggling to say goodbye to family and friends.
I tear up every time I have to say goodbye to someone. It might be the last
time I will see them since I do not know if I will be back in the states after
the Race. I know God has huge plans for me, but not in America.

This week I was blessed to be able to spend some time with
some of my teammates. Some of them came to San Diego. It has made it a little easer to
say goodbye to the place I was born and raised. It has made me realize that I
have some amazing brothers and sisters that I will spend a year with.
 

Anyways, Satan has been bringing me down these couple of
days. He wants to pull me away. Sometimes to tell you the truth I feel like I
lost passion. Or I ask myself “what the heck am I doing?” But, I know that this
is my desire and passion and I won’t let Satan take that away from me.

Please continue to pray for me. Don’t forget me when I am
gone.

Also, please pray that the rest of the funds needed to
finish will be provided. I am still in need of $8,000.
