The beauty and the bruise.

So far on the tour we have been hit with extreme blessings and extreme challenges. We’ve seen Jacob swell up like a balloon, we’ve seen people stay on their bikes even when they can’t seem to go further. We’ve seen people fall on the pavement, and we’ve seen beautiful scenery on the side of it. We’ve had sunburns, and free ice cream from strangers. We’ve seen people hold on to their money for dear life, and we seen poor high school students give all the money in their bank accounts. We’ve slept on cement and in mansions. Its these things that have made this tour so memorable, and so valuable...the ups and downs that mimic the seasons, hard times that challenge the strength within you, and times of refreshment that humble you and make you smile, and finally the feeling that we are actually going to make a difference in lives across the globe that desperately need basic resources to live.
