June 21st at 9:32pm my oldest sister sends me a text of this image:
This is the message that started it all.
I had always wanted to travel and
explore the world, but it was just a
distant dream, until that night. I said to
my sister, “But how do I go anywhere?”
She replied to me “Mission trips?”
It was a genius idea, so I googled it and
I found The World Race. Initially, I thought
it was just talk and that this was too good
to be true, that it was something I would
never really get to do. But I kept learning
about The World Race, I watched videos,
I read blogs, and I was hooked. I wanted
to do this. By this point its about 11pm, but
I put in my email and phone number to
request more information. I went to bed
honestly forgot about the whole thing by
the morning, but then I got a text message.
A representative from The World Race wanted
to know if I was still interested in the mission
trip, of course I was so I replied and we set up
a phone call for the following Tuesday. This had
just became real.
