Odesa, Ukraine

Today I received some very interesting news regarding my trip to Romania this summer. I had just gotten out of my New Testament class when Randy called me as I was walking back to my room.

As we talked I found that I will be the only intern this summer, which means a LOT of work for me, but I am pretty excited about it! We will be working with kids all over western Romania and Odesa, Ukraine. I found out from Randy this morning that we will be spending a week to a week and a half in Odesa leading a creative ministries camp for some of the kids there. Odesa is located in the southern part of Ukraine on the Black Sea. I remember about 10 years ago when my dad had the opportunity to go to Kiev, Ukraine to rebuild a church. I am super excited to be able to go to the same country my dad went to about 10 years ago!

I still do not know an official date when I am leaving or coming back. However, with this trip to Ukraine I may be leaving a few weeks earlier. There was not to much more information that I found out this morning but, as I find out more and more information, I will continue to post on here and hopefully I will be able to continue to keep you updated over the summer.


I never would have thought that I would be blessed in this way. God never ceases to amaze me with the opportunities and doors he has opened for me. Even though I have many, many questions about my faith and what I believe, He is still using me. It is incredibly humbling to have all these questions about what I believe and yet, some how, some way, He is using me. INCREDIBLE!
