This is SO exciting. My very first blog post! Well to begin, thank you so much for visiting my blog! I am about to embark on an incredible journey and am glad you will be joining me for some of it.
 
In this first post I wanted to tell you a little about my trip. I am going to be traveling to 11 different countries around the world starting in September doing missionary and service work. There will be approximately 70 people on my route but once we get into each country we will split up into small groups of 5-10 people. I will be one of these 10 and will spend each month with this group of people. In each country, we will be linked with a host church that will provide our housing, assign our projects, and show us the ropes on “how to live in ___________________ (insert country here).”
 
Please check out this video I made that talks more about what I will be doing and where I will be going over the coming year. Click on the center of the picture below to watch the movie.

 
If you feel moved to financially support my trip (I need to raise $15,500) then you can do so by clicking on the Support Me Tab on the left hand side of my blog. Your financial support can be given as a one-time gift or as a monthly donation, wherein you choose the amount and beginning and end date. If 28 people pledge $50 a month for 11 months, I would almost have 100 percent of the funds necessary for my trip.
 
Please check back for updates! I will be sure to keep you informed on my pre-trip thoughts and fundraising status.
