What did you want to be when you grew up?: ballerina, writer

Why did you choose to be involved with WGM?: Attending global cafe reminds me of the things I have learned on mission trips. I appreciate meeting with others who are going/have gone to other places to serve others. WGM provides an awesome opportunity to bathe those who already serve in prayer. I knew that if I could help out with WGM in anyway, I wanted to be a part of it.
 
What "luxury item" would you take with you on any mission trip?: definitely my camera

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go? Asia, Europe, Africa, New Zealand ….yeah, not too narrow of choice. I would love to travel pretty much anywhere. (When I was little I had this weird desire to visit Greenland!) Norway, Italy, and Ireland have held my attention as of late.
 
What's the strangest thing you've ever eaten?: octopus….not a fan, but I’m kind of picky

 
What words of advice would you give someone who is about to depart on their first missions experience?: 1. GO! Don’t let practicality stop you from trusting God’s faithfulness. 2. Don’t bring tons of expectations. Live in the spirit of patience, humility, and self-sacrifice. You will be amazed at how much you can learn when you are open and vulnerable.
