Wait...Didn't I Just Do This?

So this is it...I'm off on yet another adventure! It seems like just yesterday I was unpacking from my trip to Africa and yet here I am packing to leave for Haiti! I'm so excited for this trip and all of the amazing things that I will be doing!

First, I would like to thank everyone yet again for stepping up and showing me support and love these past few months, this year has definitely been a great one for me and I couldn't have done it without the countless friends and family that have walked along with me. I can't even think of the right words to say as I'm typing out my thank you's right now. It's overwhelming (in a good way) to think of all the people who have encouraged me, prayed for me, paid for me, hugged me, given me tips, given me information...etc. the list forever goes on! So once again, thank you all so much!

Second, I would like to point out the fact that unfortunately I will have absolutely no contact with anyone while I'm away. There will be zero internet/cell connection there. I'm struggling with this a little bit but will have a bit of internet freedom which will be nice. On the down side, this also means no blog posts until I return. Don't worry! I'm taking a journal to write in daily so that I can still have many moments to share with you, and I will be taking my camera for pictures!

Thank you all so much for everything and I will talk to you once I return! Please keep me and my youth group in your prayers as we journey to Haiti and do Gods work!

Here We Go Again!!

Yes! You read that right! I'm off on yet another adventure! I'm so excited to share that I will be traveling to Arcahaie, Haiti this August! As some of you know, before I decided to go to Africa I was originally working on going on this trip. While my sister Mia was in the hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan my family and I began to attend an amazing church! Knox (or to Ella the knock knock church) took us in the instant we arrived in Michigan and has helped my family out numerous times with many different things. While we were there I began to go to their youth group and have since then made many friends and have become close with a lot of the kids there. Unfortunately the first year I attended there I could not go on the Haiti trip because I was not yet a Junior or Senior. This year, however, is a different story! Not only will I be able to travel once again, but this time I will be with friends whom I've learned to really enjoy hanging out with and talking to! We will be in Haiti from August 1-8 and will be working with an organization there known as Children's Lifeline. ( To learn more about this organization click here. ) There are many things that we are, or could be, doing while there. Each assignment varies depending on the group. We could do anything from construction work to helping at a local orphanage.  I'm extremely excited for this trip and cannot wait to share all of my adventures with you when I return! As you can imagine we will need a lot of prayer, if you would like a specific prayer list please refer to the top of my page where it says Haiti Trip Prayer List and you will find many things that need attention. Thank you all so much for your support and I can't wait to talk to you all about this trip more as it gets closer!
