This summer, I'm going to be serving as a summer missionary in Houston, TX at the Baptist Missions Center through SendMeNow, an affiliate of the Georgia Baptist Center. I am SO excited to have this opportunity; it was definitely a huge prayer answered.

Basically, here's the low down on what I will most likely be doing:
Teach a bazillion precious Latino children about Jesus five mornings a week at kids' clubs, doing Bible studies in both Spanish and English.
Leading teen clubs once a week.
Helping out in the food and clothing centers found in the ministry.
Using skills obtained from clown training (yes, I will be clown trained)
Helping bring in short term missions groups.
Whatever else is needed to reach out to the community and share God's love :)

I'll be meeting up with four other girls from Georgia summer missions, and all in all will be serving with 18 girls and 3 guys from all over the country, from different missions programs.

Basically, I am starting this semi-reluctantly (blogs are so awkward!) to let ya'll know how God is going to be working in and through all of us this summer. I'll share some stories, hopefully some pictures, and hopefully you guys will be able to know I'm still alive and well!
Love you guys!
