Wow we leave for South Africa tomorrow! Woooohoooo! First off, hello everyone. I miss you all and I can’t wait to keep you updated through this blog. I have been in Gainesville, Georgia at the World Race headquarters for the past 10 days learning, training, and enjoying time with my team. God has been so alive and at work here on this campus, and I’m excited for what He has in store for us these next 2 months.

Our days have been full here in Gainesville with so much growth. We’ve learned from many amazing speakers and have had time to really connect with God and these new friends. I have a new appreciation for so many things. We have been camping and using porta-potties since we’ve been here so nothing sounds better than a nice soft bed and a toilet that flushes. Haha it’s the little thing in life, right?! And I can finally say I’ve hand washed my clothes. It was an arm workout and I will be giving my washing machine and dryer a hug when I get home. Anyways, all luxuries to be thankful for that we have in the US! I’m so excited for what’s to come and trying to embrace all these new things. Prayers for safe travels for the next 2 days 😮 would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and I love you all!

Talk to you again soon.
