I need to get used to updating this at some point, so I guess I will start now…
How I was called to this trip:
I’m spiritually inquisitive, as I’m sure everyone else is on this trip. Ive done short term missions trips, and volunteered at a Young Life camp for a month the past two summers, However I want something more. My friend (Leah :)) was the first to tell me about this trip, and I was right away drawn to the idea. I am young, single, healthy, and completely capable of serving. Out of any time in life to do this, now would be the time. I feel it would be selfish of me not to. Not to mention I have a strong desire to do so. I want God to use me to love others, make them feel important, help them, give them hope, teach them, and spread his word. When someone goes out of their way to do something nice for me, it makes my day. Even if it is something little, such as a compliment. It is my goal to make that happen every day. I want to be completely devoted in every aspect to serving other people, because I think that is our purpose. Ive made my fair share of mistakes in life, and I know that serving in this trip will help me to overcome selfish desires and learn to be completely satisfied with Christ alone. I’m looking forward to new friendships, and growing up and maturing in a whole new way. Ahhshahsldkhf I cant wait!!! 🙂
As for life at the moment, I’m doing my best to stay focused on finishing up this school semester and coaching JV girls tennis, which is going to be a blast. Life without sports would not be cool. I still feel weird about taking a year off of school. Ill be a liiiitle bit behind when I get back, but who cares I guess. This is way more important. 🙂
Im slowly becoming facebook friends with our group, and everyone looks awesome/weird and hilarious. This is good news. It will be a good time. Later gators
