The Lord gave me a passion for missions when I was about 13 years old.  As a result of that I have been on many mission trips and experience amazing things.  This trip came about after talking with a great friend of mine and realizing that I had no idea what I was going to do with my life after I graduate from college.  I researched different options and chose the Novas trip through AIM. However, the Novas trip was canceled, so I will now be going on the Real Life trip. Over the past year I have really developed a passion for the African people.  I am really excited about spending three months in Swaziland, Africa ministering to and learning the people there.    I am so glad the Lord choses to use people like me to fulfill HIS plan.
