Growing up I was always afraid of being a missionary and I told myself that, I wasn't going to be one....it scared me, thinking of going around the world and talking to strangers...but this winter I had a lot of things happen to me that made me want something more...I didn't know what it was but I knew that I wanted to serve God in something big. I knew that God was calling me to something big, very near in the future.

 

This summer I wanted to go stay with my sister up in Colorado, but that just didn't work out, so I was talking to my parents and they suggested that I go on a missions trip and at first, I said no way...but then after I prayed about it I felt this really big urge to go on a missions trip. God really changed my heart for this mission trip thing...he changed my thinking of how I saw missionaries...And after God made up my mind to go on this mission trip, everything has just fallen into place. I'm ready to have God change my life through the people I encounter and the work he will have us doing :)
