So writing is a lot harder then i thought it was going to be. But i think writing is the least of my worries. As of right now i need to raise $8,000. I know that God is with me and i know that it can be done thru him. I am very excited because when i do raise the money i will be going to Costa rica, Nicaragua, Ethiopia, Nepal, and the Philippines. I cannot wait to see God work thru me in these countries over the nine months total that i will be going to them. But before i talk about what i will be doing in the countries i want to give some back story as to why i decided to do the world race.  At the beginning of the school year i had starting looking at colleges and something just didn’t feel right. I knew that i wanted to go to college but it felt like maybe this next spring wasn’t when i was supposed to go. So i started looking into gap year programs and the world race was the first one i found. So decided to go with it, and after three months of applying i finally got accepted. It still feels pretty crazy that hopefully i will not be in the united states in two months but i know God has a plan for me and where ever he leads i will follow.
