Hello from Haiti,
I never would have imagined that I would be in month one of the World Race again in a new country with a new squad but sneaky Jesus, look where I am now. I am so incredibly excited to spend my two months on the field with these beautiful women of God. Meet my team, Chasing Daisies! We spent our adventure day this weekend getting all dressed up (world race style) and hanging out at a cute art shop and cafe in Port Au Prince, Haiti called Cafe Papillon. I wanted to share a little bit about them with you all so I hope you enjoy getting to know them as much as I have!
