Hi guys. Im Caden :’) and I’m going on the World Race. I am super passionate about basketball and my Denver Nuggets. I also love photography and taking pictures of people. I listen to a ton of different music and am always making new playlists on Spotify. I am super into fashion and clothing, I love going to Goodwill to find new dad sweaters. I also am super passionate about people I love all my friends and the people in my life matter a lot to me, I also love meeting new people!! I was raised going to church every Sunday and attending my youth group every week. And Jesus has always been a big part of my life. 

This past year for me has been a mess. Covid changed a lot for me, as it did for everyone else too. I loved going to school waking up and seeing my friends at 7:30 in the morning. All of that went away when COVID hit, no more school dances, no more waking up late and throwing on clothing and running out the door. It’s all I‘ve known the past 12 years. And change is hard for everyone. I did not know what I wanted to do with this next year of my life. My mom suggested the World Race to me, I loved the idea. Immediately I applied and started the process. But it was not an easy choice, it’s terrifying. I have never even been out of the country, I've never even been on a mission trip. I was raised in church and I have always known Jesus but at times over the past year I have felt the furthest from God I have ever felt. Why am I even doing a mission trip you would ask? And my answer is for some reason this I have never felt more at peace about something in my whole life. I am an over thinker, I struggle with anxiety, and for me it’s hard to find peace in even daily things.  But this whole time I have felt so at peace with this choice to do the World Race. And that for some reason it will work out and that this is what’s supposed to happen. It’s so scary just putting my trust in Jesus and it's so hard to do as a person who wants to control everything. But I am doing it and I am going to other countries to love people well. I have a feeling this trip will be huge for I am as a person and I am so excited.
