To be honest...

Mmhmm, I should have started this blog a long time ago. I meant to do it... but I'm good at procrastinating when I want to.

The main reason that I'm making this blog is to share my journey, thoughts and feelings for when am on a trip to Gabon, Africa this summer. I will be an intern with the same missionaries I was with last summer, and will be able to serve alongside them while they do their thing. Tim and Meredith Brokopp have a home in Libreville, Gabon, which is set up to hold groups coming over for short term missions trips. My main job will be serving along with Tim and Meredith while they perform their various ministries, such as helping with the short term groups, a home for abandoned children, a mobile medical clinic etc.

When I went to board the plane to come back from Gabon last summer, I knew I wasn't done there. I saw so many amazing things such as several people getting saved or at least have the gospel presented to them. Best of all I saw God working in the heart of the Gabonese people, and that's why I want to go back.

Yeah, I'm giving up my summer which could be all about myself, for a summer that has nothing to do with me, and all about serving God through serving others.

Follow me on my journey.
