Hello friends, family, and strangers!! 

Who am I? Well, here are some things you should know right away:

  • I love Jesus!!
  • When I’m not at school or church, I am most likely taking a nap or looking for a snack in the pantry
  • I enjoy being outside, writing, and baking
  • My favorite foods are tacos, fried rice, mac and cheese, and sweets of course
  • I love everything yellow: bananas and sunflowers specifically:)
  • One day, I will own a farm with a garden and tons of animals

Okay, now let me tell you some more.

My name is Ashley Hansen. Currently, I am seventeen years old but in June, I will be eighteen. I was born and raised in northern Virginia. I grew up with my mother, step-father, two brothers (one older and one younger), and two pups. After Nepal, I will be attending James Madison University, majoring in special education. 

I have always known Jesus but it was not until I got older that I realized, He knows me too. I saw Him in everything. Throughout high school, I suffered with major depression. It was a sign from Him and He was telling me “You are not on the right path” and “You are distancing yourself from me”. My eyes were opened, once I listened to Him, He saved me. That was the hardest time in my life and He didn’t give up on me, instead He gave me His hand. From then on, I devoted myself to sharing His great love. What better way to share His love than to travel to Nepal to do it? Exactly, there isn’t one! I am so excited to have this opportunity to be the hands and feet of our savior, Jesus Christ. 

Follow me in my journey. Reach out and talk to me. 

Prayers and blessings, 

Ash
