Thank You

Thank you to all who have contributed making this mission possible. Without the support of my family, my Zion family, my Sugar Creek family, and all of my friends this would have been possible. I THANK YOU all and raise my coffee cup to you each day!

Who I Am

I am currently serving in Malaysia through the Young Adults in Global Missions program with the ELCA. My job consists of three parts: 1) Working at Cheshire home with mentally and/or physically disabled persons. 2) Working at Care Haven (an orphanage) teaching English and math to four of the children. 3) Each Sunday I have the privilege of working with the 2nd KK Girls Brigade unit in the afternoon.

The first post!!!

The adventure begins. For the past week I have been a part of an orientation in Chicago to prepare us to venture out into this world as Young Adults in Global Missions. In about five hours we will begin or travels to our designated countries. Some of us will begin leaving at 5 am (my group) and others will leave in a few days. We have all spent the last week getting to know one another as friends and soon we will say goodbye. It has been a fun week full of speakers on faith, accompaniment, safety, inter-religious dialogue, group building, self-reflection, and so much more. Throughout this week I have spent a lot of time reflecting on why I am here. To this I haven't reached a concrete answer but I can say it is just where I am supposed to be and that I am very blessed to have your support in this mission.

Am I ready to go? Are any of us really and fully ready? To this I must say no. I don't think any of us are really and fully ready to go. There are still many answers unknown in what we will be doing and why we will be doing some of these things. However, I am ready to go and find out what this journey may hold. It is time to get ready to see what all of this has been leading up to. Thank you all for helping me reach this point. I really wouldn't have been possible without you. Thank you and I will let you know when we land!
