I leave on Sunday.
I'm at Launch.
"Is this my life?" (I think I will ask this question every day for the next 11 months)
I leave on a jet plane… on Sunday to head to Guatemala. I am so excited and yet so numb all at the same time. I'm having a hard time believing this is my life and I am really leaving the country for 11 months.
They asked us to document how we were feeling here at launch…. my honest answer I don't know. Everything is surreal. I cannot believe I'm here. I cannot believe I leave the country for 11 months in 28 hours… Oh my word! That is so soon!!
Telling everyone goodbye was hard. I mean I'm not a crier nor am I overly emotional so I was pretty straight forward about it… but it was hard to say goodbye. So many times it did not feel real, it felt like I would see everyone in a week or two…. I know I want but honestly it still feels like that. There are moments when it hits me… I'm leaving and my heart hurts. I love my family, and my friends. I love the life I built in Austin. I know God directed my path there. I know He directed my path to the World Race. 🙂 This is the adventure of a lifetime… I cannot believe I'm leaving… 🙂
Please continue to pray for my Squad – S Squad! Pray for my team – Team MannaFest you can meet them all <———– over there <—————- to your left scroll down a smidge!
A quick Support update!
Fundraising wise I am at $12,458!!! That is an amazing blessing from God! 🙂 I have met my October 1st deadline and am $3,042 away from being fully funded! God is so good and you, my supporters are amazing! Thank you for you prayers, your support, your love, without it. I would not be where I am.
I have a request though, I have had to pay for my plane tickets to Training Camp, and Launch. I've also had to pay for my immunizations, insurance, and all of my gear out of my own funds. This has cost me about $1,500 out of my own pocket. I also still have to pay on my student loans, and a few other bills while out of the country. If you would consider supporting me financially outside of Adventures In Missions. This would help me pay those bills and also have a little extra money to do some of the extras on the Race, it would be a huge blessing. If you'd like to do this you can send a check to my parents at 2626 Red Bud Way, New Braunfels, TX 78132. This is not tax-deductible but it would be a huge blessing and a relief in terms of bills that need to be covered. Thank you!
Thank you all for your support and love. Please know I am praying for you always!
