I am super excited to live out of my backpacks for eleven months! I’m feeling pretty ready and confident at the moment. Wooo only one week till I’m with my squad again and a few days later we will be in Chile! I can’t wait to get out there, start adventuring, meeting the awesome locals, living in community 24/7, following the Lord’s lead, serving ministry hosts, and living a life I have only imagined. I’ve been dreaming about the race lately. I’ve never even really left home or the comfort of my friends and family in Louisiana. God is gonna grow me so much this year, I’m as ready as I’ll ever be!
