As some of you may know, my squad and I were set to launch to Romania this month. Many racers and/ or their parents weren’t comfortable with Romania though, so AIM gave us a choice to make last Thursday. We were given the choice between Romania and Ecuador. Those who didn’t feel safe in Romania were allowed to go to Ecuador and even those who just felt called to Ecuador were able to go. We had to make our decision in 24 hours, pray about it and let our families know. I made the decision to go to Romania and help where I’m needed there in any ministry they needed us. We got an email Friday night saying something had happened and we’ll find out after the weekend what AIM’s decision is.

Unfortunately we will no longer be going to serve in Romania. Our whole squad will now be going to Ecuador, together. Though it is amazing to keep the squad together, I’m absolutely devastated I won’t be going to serve in Romania. A lot of emotions have gone through my mind, hurt, anger, sadness. I’ve mentally and emotionally prepared myself for Romania, whatever it had in store for me. This is a big change for a lot of people on my squad, including myself.

I don’t know much on Ecuador, nor do I have much to say about it. I’m completely heartbroken over the decision, but I know AIM has our best interests in mind. I hope to soon find the happiness in all of this, but for now this is a reality. I’m excited to see how the Lord will move through me in this change and how he will provide for all of us. 

I ask that you please partner with my squad and I in prayer through this difficult time and through our country change. If you have any questions at all please feel free to email me or message me on Instagram.
