Hi! Thank you so much for visiting my blog and following my journey! My name is Emma Dinardo and I am from Tempe, AZ! I am 21 years old and I have an older sister and younger brother so that makes me the middle child! I have completed two years of Arizona State University, but I withdrew in not really knowing what I wanted to do with my life. My dream is to ultimately earn a Bachelor’s!

I currently work for Dutch Bros Coffee in AZ, and I have been with this company for the past 3 years! I have served as a broista, trainer, and head trainer for the east valley. Before I leave to go on the World Race, I will go back to being a broista where I will just be able to serve and love the people besides me which I am super excited about!

I am a huge fan of anything Disney! I even combed my hair with a fork for a year thinking I was Ariel from The Little Mermaid. I have been to Disneyland well over 20 and I will always stay from 8am-12am. I always have o eat at least two disney churros a day. A dream I have is to be an annual passholder someday!

Some other little fun quirky things about me:

I LOVE CHICKEN

I snort when I laugh

Birkenstock is my shoe of choice even when it’s cold (AZ cold is 60 degrees lol)

I have a double nose piercing

The beach is my sweet spot with the Lord ( I have a wave tattoo because of it!)

I have dreamed about missionary work ever since I was a little girl and I knew ultimately I would end up somewhere doing something. Every time I tried to apply for a trip or go on a missions trip within churches, I either was not able to go or the trip was canceled altogether. I was super hesitant to apply for the Race because nothing had ever worked out for me and I had basically stopped trying. Over the past year the Lord really put on my heart to go but I didn’t want to listen and be disappointed. But the Lord never disappoints, He doesn’t let you down. After applying I had gotten in! I haven’t been this overjoyed in my entire life! Even though this road hasn’t been easy and will continue not being so, He is worth it. 

 

Thanks so much for checking out my blogs and loving on me through them! Thanks for the support!
