Since I was young I felt called to Africa.  I can't quite explain it but thats all I could see myself doing.  In highschool I became absolutely obsessed.  Everyone knew thats where I was headed.  All throughout highschool I just wanted to get out and head to Africa.  I remember watching one of the music videos on the Invisible Children disks every morning when I didn't want to go to school, it would be my inspiration and remind me that thats where I'd be one day.  After highschool I went to New Tribes Bible Institute because I thought that if I was going to do missions I should probably get a better understanding of the Bible and get to know GOd more.  Those two years were probably the best two years of my life so far.  I learned so much and grew so much in my faith.  When I graduated I knew I just had to go.  Even if it was just dipping my toes in the water, I needed to go to Africa.  I needed to be there and see if thats really where God wanted me.  You can read about Africa, see videos and pictures, but you'll never really know until you're there.  So here I am, about to spend the next year in Africa.  I'm thrilled beyond belief.  I want to see her, to hold her children in my arms and love them with every once of love in me.  I want to be pushed out of my comfort zone and forced to trust my Lord like never before.  This trip is going to be life changing, I just know it.
