Winter Update

Hi family and friends!!

I am a little over a month out from going on my third tour with Circuit Riders. This year in the Rockies region of America! This includes Eastern Washington and Eastern Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah. This year, different from last, I am planning a tour, visiting majority Universities and some high schools. Over the last few months I have been contacting students and local churches in all of these states, building connections, and planning our visits with each university. We will be hosting worship events on campuses and holding evangelism trainings and outreaches. About a month ago, we went out for two weeks on what we call a pre-tour, visiting each campus that we will be partnering with and meeting with the student hosts! It was a crazy busy two weeks as we road-tripped over 3000 Miles to visit the 14 universities that we are working with! We met with student teams, pastors, and held evangelism trainings and outreaches on almost every campus. I personally am working with the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, Colorado College, Colorado State University, the University of Wyoming, Utah Tech, and the University of Utah! It has been such a joy to get to work alongside students on these campuses these last few months, and I am so expectant to visit their campuses in the coming spring semester.

In these last few weeks of preparing to go on tour, we have also been preparing messages to speak on tour, helping to facilitate the students on my team who will be leading worship, and locking in details like housing and vehicles for those two months on the road! 

In addition to this, in the Fall I worked a part-time job for a few months, working as a receptionist at a yacht club in Balboa! It was such a blessing as I got to spend my shifts just getting to help out and meet members! As many of you know, I grew up in this environment at home, so it felt almost like a little piece of home here with me.

As of lately, I also got to help plan one of my closest friends' engagements, and life has just been so full of so many joyful celebrations and things! Between both of these jobs and other things going on, this fall/winter has probably been one of the busiest seasons of my life! At the end of this week, I am heading home for a Winter break to spend time with my family and new baby Nephew!! 

I want to express my gratitude to each and every one of you again for following along and for your generosity that is sowing into how the Lord is moving on each of these university and high school campuses!

I pray that you all have the most peaceful and joyful holiday season!
