Hi Everyone! I am super excited to go on this missions trip to Swaziland with all of you! I have felt that the Lord has wanted me to go on a missions trip and I have for the past months felt this strong calling to go to Swaziland. I think that Africa is the most beautiful place, but it is also a continent that is in extreme turmoil. I hope that our group will be able to have a positive impact on the people of Swaziland.
-About Me-
I live in the Pacific Northwest (yes, it is true, it rains 8 months out of the year).
I am a Sophomore in Highschool
I'm 15 years old and I will be turning 16 in April.
I have three younger brothers
I am an artist, I think that painting is a beautiful way to express yourself.
I love to learn, especially if it has anything to do with Health/Nutrition, Science, and History.
I believe that the sunrise is God's art work, that it is his way of letting us catch a glimpse of the beauty of heaven each day.
All of my life I have loved serving others, its a great feeling when you do a selfless act.
I love listening to all different types of music, although screamo is a definite no. I can't handle the stuff, talk about an instant headache.
I love to exercise, I workout at least 5 days a week.
I am a firm believer in eating all natural, organic, and healthy.
I am not a vegetarian, God gave us meat on this earth for a reason!
I have grown up in a Christian home, but I have had struggles with my faith in the past, my faith has been put to the test on many occasions. Recently, I have beeen baptized and I have been working on a deeper relationship with my heavenly father.
I can't wait for this missions trip and being able to serve God in a way that I have never done so before!
