Hey guys, Lisa here.  I’m 18 years old and I live in Middlebury, Indiana.  I come from a rather large family of 9 children, 6 girls and 3 boys.  I also have 9 nieces and nephews.  Family has always been a very big part of my life so to be leaving them for 9 months is going to be a challenge.

   God has laid missions on my heart since I was in the third grade, so to be granted this opportunity is a blessing and answer to prayer.  That being said doesn’t mean that the nine months spent away from home will be easy.  I will need to rely on God for everything and I would appreciate all your prayers as I live out this adventure.
