It has begun! Our journey as started! What does this even mean;
I guess I will soon find out.  We are
staying in a hostal in Quito, Ecuador for a few days.  This time is called Launch.  Our whole squad is together and we will have
some more time to get to know each other and get adjusted to World Race life. I
feel so fortunate because we have free Internet service here, it is wonderful
and a nice way to ease us in. 
It was super sad saying bye to everyone. 
It was surreal, I couldn’t and stull can’t comprehend that I am going to
be gone for 11 months, that is a long period of time.  I love it because we are all going through
the same thing; we are all having a flood of emotions. 
This is such an exciting time.  I am so
excited to see how God is going to use us and what he is going to teach
us.  As we were all sitting in the
airport I was talking to all of our squad members and thinking about how much
we are all going to change over the next year and I can’t wait to see the
growth everyone experiences from now until the time we get back.  Blessed to be on this trip and that God is
using me for his kingdom! Love you guys, thank you for all your prayers and
support.
