True to World Race fashion, with continent changes comes team changes. It’s something that never gets easier but I can truly say that I am beginning to understand the value of them. They stretch us, grow us, and allow us to learn from people we haven’t gotten to live with. It also keeps us from getting too comfortable with people which helps us reach new heights with the Holy Spirit.
All of that being said, here’s to team Abundant Pursuit. I never would’ve anticipated getting as close with this group of girls as I have and I’m sad I won’t get to finish the Race with each of them.
Below are some of my favorite pictures with some of my favorite people. Thanks for making four of the hardest months of the Race a little easier. Love you deep.
Things worth mentioning, that time a random Asian lady took Marisa’s place to photobomb our picture.
Now that we’re in Africa, I have a new team made up of some familiar faces. I’m happy to introduce team Kwitanga! Kwitanga means being all in even to the point of death in Kinyarwandan. While none of us plan on dying any time soon, we did discuss how we want to pour everything we have in to these last three months, in to our last team, and in to our relationships with the Lord. I ask that you remember us in your prayers as we fight to stay present while simultaneously preparing for our re-entry to the United States. We’re excited, we’re scared, we’re all in.

All the love from Africa,
