"I just thought I'd send out an update of my life and all the crazy, amazing things God has been doing!
Well I just got back from an incredible 7-week mission trip from a little island in the Caribbean called Dominica! :) It was so beautiful there! It was extremely different from anything I could ever imagine or expect. I went with a team of seven students from colleges all over Georgia, and we definitely had our work cut out for us! I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but God did! We "scouted" out the island, finding out where things were, where people hung out at, what the needs were etc., and we also worked in a primary school helping with reading, writing, and whatever else the teacher could come up with for us to do. (It is definitely not my calling in life to be a teacher!) It's waaaay different teaching a kid how to write an S than it is teaching a VBS! We also helped with three different churches while we were there; leading Bible studies and hanging out with the youth on youth nights--the kids were so much fun and always so full of life! We also hung out at the local colleges while doing Bible studies and prayerwalking. And we did different outreach/evangelism events in different villages (where eight people accepted Christ!)
God definitely showed me a lot about myself on this trip! It was challenging at times, but God always provided and He always knows what He is doing! I met some amazing people on this trip that I will never forget and will always cherish!"
