I've been home from the World Race for almost four months. My heart has been longing for the nations, longing to return to the places and people that I love scattered throughout the world. Finally, I am boarding a plane and returning to the nations!

     Although I am not moving to Nicaragua until January, I am blessed to bring my family to see my new home in Candelaria. My parents, my best friend Steph, and I will be traveling to Candelaria, Nicaragua to visit September 26th-October 3rd. I am so excited to be able to share my heart for Candelaria with my family. We will be spending the week fellowshipping with the New Song Mission staff, reconnecting with the teenagers I will be discipling, and touring the village. It will be so wonderful to return to Candelaria and to spend time with the people that have stolen my heart! My heart has been longing to be a part of these teenagers lives once again and to be able to point them towards Christ.
