With my time on the race coming to an end and only 43 days left (WHAT) I wanted to do a blog dedicated to my favorite moments on the field from each country.

My students at New Hope School were one of my favorite things about Cambodia. Especially these two boys. This place was the first place I experienced mission work and it will forever have my heart. Teaching English these 2 months were rough but my students made it all worth it. This picture was taken during my first week of being at the school and they welcomed me so well then so you can image the love we had for each other after 8 weeks.
My team these months, Dynami (minus Em, she took the picture). Back then we were a baby team of 5 but the love we had for each other was so new. We have grown so much and these girls will forever be my sisters.
In Cambodia we were learning how to live together and love each other.
This is one of my favorite moments of just hanging out in my hammock with my students, taking silly pictures.

This was a sunset picture I took on top of a hill during one of our last nights up on the ranch with the Beard Family.
LAURA!!! She has been one of my closest friends since before the race started. This was when we spent a month away from each other and then got to live together month 4. She is a good one and I am so thankful for who she is and our friendship.
Team Dynami during our Christmas festivities! This was one of my favorite Christmas’ so far and even though I was homesick I am my second family surrounding me that made it so much fun!

Lexi’s Birthday Beach Trip!!! The ocean is one of my favorite places in the whole world so it was so fun to be able to go while in Guat!
Paragliding! This was something I would have never thought I would ever do and if you would have asked me before the race I probably would have told you no way! But it was such an amazing experience and I am so thankful I was able to go!
Lets not forget about my 2 months teaching! My 5th grade students were so much fun and this day was a lot of fun- Valentines Day! We celebrated as a team by doing secret valentines and then had a big party at school!

Team SOL and our ministry host Gadisa! Our time in Africa has been so incredible and our time as a team has been so much fun! I love my team so much and they truly are my sisters. Gadisa has been such a great host as well, I love having fun and being silly with them.
Crater Lake! This was a fun adventure day and it felt like a magical land. I am so glad we were able to go and that I got to ride a horse for the first time!
Lastly, My little gal Somali at the refugee camp! She has been so fun to hangout with and has shown me a lot about what loving without language is. She has experienced some hard things in her life and it reminds me daily to be thankful for the life I am able to live.
Well thank you for reading my Fav moments. And I hope you enjoyed getting a glimpse into what my race experience has been filled with.
