People keep asking me why in the world would

 

you want to go on an 11month trip with people

 

you don’t know into countries that you don’t know.

 

What would compel you to do such a thing. Are

 
you crazy?

 

 At first I thought well maybe i am crazy for

 

wanting to do this. Maybe I am just out of my

 

mind. Maybe I am just screwing everything up.

 

But the more I think about this race the more I

 

know I have to go. The more I see pictures of

 

these people and the more I hear stories about

 

their lives the more passion I have to go. I know

 

that God will use me to touch the lives of these

 

wonderful children of God.  I know that there are

 

so many people in this world that are in pain and

 

hurting, that are looking for a hope, that don’t

 

know where to go. and I know that I have been in

 

that same place I know what it feels like when

 

you think there is no hope left. But I also know

 

that there is Hope, and there is love, and there is

 

joy, peace, happiness , laughter and life. I am

 

over joyed to go on this trip and share what I have

 

learned about life with those I meet. And learn

 

much much more from each of them, to come

 

home with a new passion for people and to share

 
that passion with those at home.

 

 
So am I crazy? Yes I am crazy about people.
