Hey Everyone!

I just wanted to let you know my backpack is coming on the 19th of July. I am really looking forward to starting the packing process as I am leaving in 44 days!! We just recently found out that we are actually backpacking around the world, not taking suitcases. :0 So everything I’m taking for 9 months will have to fit in my 63 L backpack. Fun days!!

Please pray for strength and encouragement to keep making the phone calls regarding fundraising. Those are stressful for me, but the meetings themselves I am actually really enjoying. Everyone has been so kind and encouraging and I am amazed to see God providing through all these people!

On another fun note I was able to connect with a future teammate who lives in Hudsonville and go out for coffee and I am so thankful for that time to meet someone who lives so close. It felt good to connect with someone before the race and meet with them in person.

Day by day! Thank you so much for your prayers and encouragements in these days of preparation.
