Happy Friday everyone!

I'm officially done with college and I'm so excited! It's such a weird feeling to think that I won't have to worry about school for the next year. On the other hand, however, being done with school means I need to buckle down and focus on preparing for the World Race. We got our official launch date this week; I'll be heading out with my squad on August 6. There's a lot that needs to get done over these next few months and I'm trying not to get too stressed about it.

That being said, I'm going to need a lot of prayer this week, so thank you so much for praying with and for me! (2 Thessalonians 3:1)

Here are my requests for the week:

1. Preparing for the World Race. I need to buy all my gear and clothes for my trip, which is a bit overwhelming to think about. I also need to figure out what vaccines and other things I need to travel. I could use a lot of prayer for peace as I start working on this. 

2. The South Asian countries we'll be visiting: Nepal and our South Asia hub. This is the continent that we will be spending the least amount of time in, but there are such incredible ministries established over there that need prayers and recognition. 

3. All my fellow graduates. COVID definitely made this school year more challenging than usual and I'm so proud of everyone who pushed through and made it to the finish line. I especially want to ask for prayer for two of my closest friends, Whitney and Lauren, who are graduating with me this year!

Thanks for all your prayers!
