Well, spending this last week at training camp was AWESOME! I met so many amazing, Godly people and I am so so excited to get to experience this journey with them. Here is the breakdown of some things I learned at training camp:
-> My route has changed slightly and will now be as follows: Zambia, Malawi, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, China, Mongolia, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Nepal. We are no longer going to Eastern Africa (Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda) for safety reasons and will not be able to go to India either because Visas are getting harder to obtain and much more expensive. I was a little sad at first to hear about the changes, but I KNOW that it is all in the Lord’s hands. Also, we will be the first group of World Racers ever to go to Mongolia!!
-> Many people who were once strangers will now be lifelong friends! There are so many amazing people on my Route, and we have all become one big family!
-> I know who will be on my team! Our route (squad Z) has about 46 people total, however we are broken down into team of 6 or 7 and these are the people we will live and travel with the entire trip. I am on an all girls team, and we have named ourselves Team F.I.E.R.C.E. because we have fierce faithfulness, fierce integrity, fierce evangelism, fierce restoration, fierce compassion, and fierce estrogen! 🙂 Team F.I.E.R.C.E consists of my self and:

– > I have A LOT to still accomplish in the next 2 months! from getting vaccinations, taking care of personal finances, getting additional gear, fundraising, and personal strength and development (both physical and mental) There are a whole list of goals that I have
I would ask of all of you to PRAY continually and ceaselessly on my behalf! Please lift me up to our father that He would continue to give me HIS strength and peace. Also pray for my team as we prepare for battle and come up against the enemy as he tries to lead us astray. Thank you all for your continued blessings, and stay tuned for more updates!!
