Why the heck will I be leaving my bed, dogs and Taco P (oh and family 😉 for 11 months?!? Good question, well I have been thinking about/praying for a long time (roughly 3 years) first year was me saying, “Sounds crazy fun, God, but I could NEVER do that” the next year I was like, “okay maybe there is a possibility” the year after that I was like I CAN NOT stop thinking about this dang trip and I REALLY felt called to go (all the signs were pointing to apply Ella!!!). So I applied and here we are.
I feel like God has put this trip on my heart to help others in need. I feel like the Lord is calling me to go serve and help grow his kingdom. I want to help others and show them God’s steadfast love. I want to serve and help others in need because I have been blessed with a healthy body to do so. I want to be pushed out of my comfort zone. I want to get out of the traditional routine. I am craving a new adventure. I want to grow as a follower of Jesus and I want to explore the world.
Those are pretty much the top reasons why I want to go on this crazy adventure (also hellloooo Thai & Indian food + more, yes pleaseeee!) I really hope I was able to convey my emotions and feelings through this post, bare with me blogging/writing (especially expressing my feelings) is new for me. Talk to you soon.
All the love,
Ella Gonzalez
