Hello! My name is Kate Nixon. I have grown up and lived in Denver, Colorado all of my life. I have 2 older brothers, and an older sister. I have one sister-in-law and one brother-in-law. I have experienced the full joys of living in Colorado with my family doing everything outdoors you can think of. I grew up in a Christian home all of my life, but I took my faith my own when I was in high school. I really started to live my life out for Christ when I went to college. I graduated from the Univeristy of Northern Colorado with Elementary Education in December. I have had a passion and excitement for the world since before my first trip overseas. God grabbed my heart for his people in 2007 when I went to Kenya, Africa. I can't explain how much I love serving others, experiencing new cultures, learning new languages, holding orphans, playing with local villagers, and living life, sharing life with all of God's precious people.  Just some quirky facts about me for you to know:
