I have made it safely back to Hong Kong after spending several weeks on mainland China.  I had a great time up in the mountains.  My team was joined by Ryan from L.O. team to work in a restuarant alongside several missionaries, along with doing several backpacking trips out into the mountains.  Being a short term missionary who is unfamiliar with the language, coupled with the danger of openly sharing one’s faith, our teams focus was much more bent upon prayer than anything else.  So we served in the restuarant and hiked, camped, and prayed a lot.  It was actually a good way to spend the final month, allowing for a bit of personal time to spend on reflecting on what we had just experienced.  Granted I still have months of processing what it was that I just experienced here overall.  But it was great to be able to sit, think, and pray, more than it was possible in most other countries. 

So there are some stories that I will share with you all, but for right now I wanted you to know that the World Race is essentially over for me.  There are a few more days that we will spend here in Hong Kong to wrap everything up.  I am having a great time with the rest of the racers as we celebrate finishing up this incredible experience!  I love you all and thank you guys so much for following me on this journey! 

Dont worry, this is not my last post.


We went to the Great Wall of China, where we just so happened to find ourselves on a model shoot.
