Well, here we are… Y Squad is back in Romania, spending our final days together as a squad, debriefing, worshiping, praying, thanking God for our experiences, and realizing…oh my goodness…what God has brought us through in these last 11 months.

Here I am sitting in Starbucks in an air conditioned mall, writing this, after experiencing, some stress while shopping in H & M, etc. With only 2 more full days together. Tomorrow, Sunday, we will be experiencing our final "worship" session together, followed by an evening of celebration, good times, and memories. Monday, will be another day of exploration, with our packs packed away somewhere, before we head for our 3rd and final all-nighter at an airport. We will be boarding our plane at 6am, Tuesday (8pm, Monday), for all those in SoCal. We have a 6 hour layover in Warsaw, Poland, before we board our flight to NYC. Oh my goodness, how did 11 months, turn into 3 sleeps?

Please pray for God-anointed, God-manifest experiences, for our squad as we finish these final days together and enjoy our time with one another. Please pray for safety as we travel to the airport, and take part in our final 2 flights together.  Please pray for my two teammates: Megan McCoomb, as she returns to Dragenesti-Olt, Romania, to join with the missionaries at Hope Church for 3 months; and Emily Rae Butterfield, as she travels to Italy and France for the next 2 months. Please pray for safe travels to each of our hometowns.

I cannot begin to express how much your prayers, encouragement, and comments, have meant to me throughout this last year, and all of my life for many of you. You, with the strength of God, made this trip a reality. A reality that I will never forget. I have so much to say, and not the words to write in this moment, but will at some point be able to share with you. God's completely rocked my world, if you haven't checked the video my teammate, Rachel, put together, you should, it can be found at: http://lauradaniellewilliams.theworldrace.org/?filename=video-new-soul.
