It is absolutely crazy to me that my time on the World Race is quickly coming to an end. I am currently in Mongolia, and I have spent some time reflecting on the last 10 months. It hasn’t always been pretty, in fact, this journey has been one of the hardest things I have ever done… but, all things worthwhile always are. This has been such a valuable and rewarding year of growth and fellowship. Here are some words to summarize each month so far and things I have learned and experienced within each of them: challenges, lessons, victories, etc.
