Time flies when you are having fun! It has been quite awhile since my last blog post. A lot has happened since then. I have been on the field for a over 3 months. I have adjusted well to the culture. It is a bit frightening being in a country with a whole different language and culture, at first I was worried how I would go to the grocery store, going shopping or even use public transportation. It was difficult to communicate at first, I was nervous telling a taxi driver where I needed to go, I am still a bit nervous today but it gets easier the more I am learning the language.

I have graduated from college and now what’s next? Last fall I felt a calling to go overseas to serve long-term so that I may invest in people and build genuine relationships with them.

That calling has led me to serve orphans and university students in East Asia this… Read more >>
