Hey friends, family, world! 

So right off the bat, I have a confession. I’m not always the best at remembering to update my blog, or anything social media related. In fact, I truly believe I was born in the wrong era because I would rather write a letter than update my status on Facebook and I didn’t know Tswift released her new album until like 3 days after it was already out. Yikes! (I know, super vulnerable right). Regardless, I am very sorry for the delay in writing this update! 

I wanted to write a mind blowing, fairytale ending to my World Race life. But I don’t think I could ever really write the ending to a story God hasn’t finished writing yet. So instead I’m going to direct you back to my previous blog for a wrap up of the year. If you haven’t read it yet, I would highly encourage you to. It’s the best and shortest summary of my past year and I think it captures my heart for all that I have experienced.

If you did read it, you’ll remember I said I would follow up with a blog summarizing my last two months in more detail. Well, my teammates beat me to that and they did a tremendous job! If you are interested in knowing more about the work we did in Swaziland and South Africa, please read these beautifully written pieces below:
