Life is full right now. I’m overwhelmed by the goodness of God in my life, but your boy is tired. I’m really feeling the reality of month nine in the race. Does it feel as crazy to you as it does to me that I’ve not been in the United States for eight months already?? whoa.. 

With that, i thought it’d be good to take a second to update you on the happs before i head out to the mountains AGAIN. don’t worry, there’s not an eight part blog series coming after this trip! haha 

Our whole squad is going to a yurt camp in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan to facilitate a 24/7 prayer burn. We’re so stinkin excited for what God had for us this week and are hopeful that you’ll pray for us when you think of us!! 

Here’s the run down of life right now: 

• We were rerouted from Uzbekistan to Armenia due to visa issues and that was the most incredible surprise. I’ve never had a desire to be in Armenia, but what God is doing in that country is insane and it was an honor to be a part of that. I can’t wait to share about our time there after we get back from the burn!! 
• We’re wrapping up our month eight debrief right now in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan and are headed out all together for the prayer burn. This debrief brought so much joy in the form of a visit from our alumni squad leaders and a zoom call with our parents!!! 
• OOF!!! i forgot to tell you that i’m on a new team!!! I will do an intro blog soon, but I’m back on a coed team and we are Stu Pickles and the PenguiNUNS!! 
• my computer is still broken and it may be until the end of the race. oh well, i reckon. I’m currently blogging from my phone, so be gracious with me. haha

How can you pray for me?? 

• I’m feeling pretty physically tired, but i’m learning what it means to be sustained by the Holy Spirit. So pray for me as i press into that! 
• I’ve got post- race opportunities being offered, so pray that Pops would give me discernment to know which one is the right one!!  

That’s maybe all i’ve got for now! I’m excited about what God is doing in my life and I really can’t wait to share with you im some more specific blogs. 

I love you.
