MEXICO!!!!!

I know this has nothing to pertain to summit, but one thing about me is that I love going on mission trips. Especially to Mexico! (or at least in the past I have) Today, I found out that I made the team that my youth group, The Attic, is sending down to central Mexico during Spring Break. The only other time I've been to Mexico, it was for a family mission trip over the Thanksgiving Break in ninth grade. On this trip, I came out of my comfort zone, stepped out and became a leader. I found that whenever others were given leadership, I would still strive to lead. This wasn't who I was before I went. I think that this cross-cultural experience was really cool, because it put me out of my comfort zone and gave me a love for another country. I think that how much Mexico effected me may have had to do with the fact that I believe that God has called me to be a missionary, possibly in the future and I've always had my heart set on Central and South America. I'm still not sure, but I know I can't wait for this next experience and expect to learn a lot and not I have a reason for studying my Spanish more.

I am SO excited for you!! I'm disappointed that I won't be able to go but I know God has much better plans. A friend of mine whom I haven't seen in a long time will be in town then and we're making plans, plus I'll be serving at MUDD camp...yes, God has better plans for me.
