I just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! My team and I are in Manila for the day to celebrate Christmas and heading back to San Mateo in a few hours.

One of the smaller malls here. Filipinos apparently LOVE their malls!
Today has been a tough day for me as I think about all of the people and traditions back home that I am missing, but I’m grateful for those God has given me to share life with during this time.
I also know that I will never again take special moments with loved ones for granted the same way I did before the Race. Hold your loved ones just a little bit tighter today and remember the many blessings God has given to each of us. We are blessed to be a blessing, and I can’t thank you all enough for extending some of those blessings to me this year!
Also, here is an awesome video recap of my team’s last month in Honduras (video put together by Stephanie Below):
