Over the summer, i went on a missions trip that entailed riding 2600 miles from Oregon to Tennessee. It was to raise money for an organization called Blood:Water Mission that works in Africa building wells and combating AIDS through this.
I always say that it changed my life and I believe this, the question is, however, how?
I spent a month at home working and riding my bike around before I went back to school in September and have been pretty much immersed in that ever since.
I miss the amazing friendships that I formed over the summer and the amazing things that I experienced while over the trip.
My point is.... I do not really know how to put into words how this trip changed my life.....
All that i know is that it was probably one of the greatest experiences in my life ever since I went overseas to the Philippines in 2005.
School has almost consumed my life, I have not taken my beautiful bicycle for a good ride in over a month and I feel out of shape again.
I do not understand my plight nor do I feel that I need it but I have faith that one day I will know what all that time was for.
My team that is sadly no longer a team.... I love you dearly with all that I have. You were my family on this trip and I hope that we can be together again someday......
