Hey Everyone!
I hope everyone has had a VERY Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! To update everyone on my life thus far, my family and I had a great Christmas and New Year! I was blessed to spend Christmas with my family at home and traveled to Tennessee with my family for the New Year. A few other things I got to do, consisted of graduating from Western Carolina University in December, I had the chance to visit the Biltmore house and I attended the Passion Conference in Atlanta Georgia. My mom also retired from her work and she had her retirement party (I got to speak about mom at the party and sing with my sisters).
On December 15th, I graduated from Western Carolina University and was very blessed to have some of my family and friends there to support me. I truly wouldn’t have made it to that day without the love and support of everyone!
Also, I managed not to trip across the stage and I didn’t make too much of a fool of myself!
I was able to spend some time around Christmas with both sides of my family. Seeing my family for Christmas was a blessing. Part of our Christmas was spent traveling to the Biltmore House. Can I just say that going to the Biltmore House at Christmas time with all the decorations are ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!! That house is massive and just makes me think what would happen if I could ever play hide and seek in that house! Ha Ha Ha! Could you just image hide and seek in the Biltmore House? No, I can’t either, to be honest some parts of the house I would not want to be hiding in myself and if I did play, I would honestly probably get very lost. Anyways, as I think back on this past Christmas, I know I will miss it in the upcoming Christmas season. I will be spending Christmas in India this year! It will not be with my family, but it will be a Christmas unlike I have ever had before that’s for sure. Just saying that “I’m spending Christmas in India this year” continues to blow my mind! Can you believe….. INDIA FOR CHRISTMAS??!!!!! Can we take a minute together to just think about what crazy amazing things God will have planned for the people of India and myself this upcoming Christmas? On top of that what he has planned during each country I will be going to!

Now, New Years in Tennessee was really fun. The family and myself saw Christmas lights at Dollywood, Fireworks, and ate way too much food in the process. All the family and myself had a great trip to Tennessee!
On the other hand, can I just say that if you have never been to the Passion Conference, I highly recommend you go and see for yourself how God can move in a younger college generation! This Passion Conference, I was just able to be a part of was amazing! I truly can’t say that there is any better way to start off the New Year than with learning more about Jesus and worshiping the one who has given me another year of life on this earth. Also, the upcoming Passion Conference for 2020 will be at the Mercedes Benz Stadium and the tickets are already on sale. So, for those in the states GO! See God move in your life!
I am now only 133 days away from launch and everything is starting to feel super real by the second. This past Sunday night, I was able to video call with 30+ of the other squad members going on the race with me. It was so much fun and I can’t wait to spend 11 months of my life with them!
So, I guess you could say that my life has been a little crazy the past few months. I look forward to the days leading up to launch and I am a little of 60% funded for my trip. Everyone’s financial support, prayers, and words of encouragement have meant so much to me. I can wait to update everyone on the upcoming days before launch.
Also here is a look into my pack and me practicing packing it for the fun of it!
P.S. If you didn’t hear on January 7th Clemson dominated Alabama in the National Championship with a score of 44-16! GO TIGERS!!!!!
Much Love Always,
-Tiffany
