Season's greetings!
Very very soon you all will be receiving some Christmas cheer from your local missionary! (:
I was looking through my very cluttered in box and just re-read an email that a lovely young lady wrote to me and my Mission Adventure staff after she spent her spring break here last April! I thought this was such an answer to everything we do here...like the whole goal and reason why I live here and wanted to be a part of Mission Adventures so that our youth would see the need and want to serve our Lord in doing Missions as well.
"Dear Carrieanne (I hope that's how you spell it), Mikel, and Tia;

"Dear Carrieanne (I hope that's how you spell it), Mikel, and Tia;
I wanted to tell you all thank you so much for everything you did for us, that would be Element
Youth group ( I think we were your last group and our youth leaders name was Dustyn), over our
spring break. It was amazing! One of the most impactful weeks of my life and one of the best. At first
I could not understand why God wanted me to go. I mean my boyfriend was not going and it was
spring break and I had a ton to do. But now I know why I was there. Thank you so much! It has
changed my life and made me actually pray and consider becoming a missionary in my uncertain
future. Before spring break I was in my own box, thinking I would just get married and do whatever,
never thinking of outreaching. Isn't that weird? God doesn't just want us sitting around. Which leads
me to tell you guys that God used you to show me that I will do something amazing for Him. I am not
sure what yet though. Anyway I remember in the beginning when we got there and Carrieanne found out I was 18 and offered me to get an application for DTS. The first thought that came to my mind was no way would I do that. I barely am going to get through this week. But after Thursday, I could not believe I thought
that and now I miss you all and serving there so much that I would apply. But I can't because I am
going to be a camp counselor over the summer. So I just wanted to say you guys opened my heart to what my potential is to do to serve and a lot more. And this might sound strange but I was wondering if there was a way I could talk to Carrieanne more because I had a lot to say. so if I could get her email or anything that would be great.I love you guys and miss you"
Every once in a while I stumble across something very encouraging, hope you enjoyed !Thank you &
have a wonderful Christmas!
