Hello everyone my name is Hayden Lacy and I just want to thank you for subscribing to my blog to be updated on my travels throughout The World Race. I am 18 years old and a recent graduate of Independence high school. I enjoy being outdoors, traveling, and love taking that extra step out of my comfort zone. I am so thankful for this once in a lifetime opportunity to experience serving God and others around the world. I will be going to Costa Rica, Thailand and Eswatini (Southern Africa). We will be joining already existing missions groups on the ground to assist in whatever is need in that particular area, from construction to teaching children English to other projects. Lastly I just wanted to thank you all for your support in giving me the opportunity to spread Gods love.

I know both your mother and your Aunt Leslie from Lakota H. S. Where I taught. I am looking forward to praying with you on your trip. Officially, you are my grandstudent and I have a vested interest in you!
Thank you so much Mrs Gabbard, I will be sure to keep you updated on my mission. Thank you for the prayers.
We’re so proud of you Hayden! This will be a life changing journey and while I can’t grasp how much we’ll miss you, we trust that God is leading you towards the experience of a life time and that He will use you like never before! You are loved beyond description. Go get the world, Hayden! xoxo, Mama & Dad
So excited for you! You will learn so much and bring so much to this program and the people that you meet. Can’t wait to follow your journey.
