Thank you all so much for all of your encouragement, prayers, and financial support.  Brad and I made it 22 miles yesterday before our bodies gave out and we threw in the towel.  It was an awesome experience!

                       
                                          Stretching at 4am                                                              Meeting at the Benin/Togo border at 6am
                                              
           Excited to get this show on the road                                                                                      And we’re off!
                    
          We walked past a statue of the country of Benin,                                                2 hours in, still going strong!
          so we walked across it as a prophetic declaration
                    
   Been going for 5 hours, getting a little hot and sweaty                                        Heavy rain clouds starting to roll in
                    
              Taking shelter during the rainstorm                                            Drinking fanmilk for fuel.  It’s like putting a
                                                                                                                         cup of yogurt in the freezer.  It’s amazing, the
                                                                                                                         things that sound delicious on the World Race! 
                    
   Holding up 8 fingers, to declare 8 straight hours of walking            Been going for 10 hours, trying to keep our smiles!
Thanks again to all of you who pledged to support us!  Every dollar counts.  We’re having an amazing time on the World Race, and trusting that God called us to finish it.  We love you all!
