Hi Everyone!
I am so excited to be able to share this journey with you as I begin to prepare for the World Race! I am new at this Blog thing, and it might be a while before I get good at it, but I hope to share with you everything I experience on this trip! The good and the bad. This is my first blog in which I hope to tell you more about myself and what my interests are. On my next blog I will tell you all about how I was called to the mission field!
To set the stage, I want to inform you that I plan on being very informal with these posts, I don't want to bore you with too many words, but if something is really on my heart than I will do my best to tell you everything. I plan on posting lots of pictures, because sometimes pictures are better than words. I wish I could upload music, because I am learning that, my strongest voice is in writing songs. I plan on writing songs about this experience, if not on the race then when I return.
So here I am!

I am currently twenty one years of age & I am still discovering a lot of who I am….I love the outdoors and my favorite style of music is folk rock down to earth kind of music…. I love coffee and hot chai! I can't get enough of it! My favorite sport is ultimate frisbee!
I enjoy using my hands, whether its playing an instrument or slugging a hammer. I love to build houses and I am blessed to be the apprentice of Reid Tessler a local Jewish Carpenter very skilled in his work.
I love reading the Scriptures! I finished reading the bible straight through about six months ago, and now I am at it again!
If I am at the house, I am usually pretty quiet or secluded, but when I am out there doing stuff I come out of my shell a little more……
I don't want to be defined so quickly, by the things that I do or what surrounds me. I know that I am a child of God and that he has good works for me to do…. that he has prepared in advance for me to do…. I have a mission…. I have a calling…. I have a ministry to fulfill that nobody else can fulfill but me!
Love you guys!
Heaps of Blessings!
Ryan
