Hey! My name is Amy and I’m gonna be a high school senior in the fall! I’m pretty much intensely excited to be going to Romania in 8 days with all these awesome people on the team. I’ve never been on an international mission trip before, so it’ll be a thrilling adventure, to be sure.

As for me, I am a competitive swimmer, I really like books of most kind, I have a lot of pets (5), I am mildly allergic to all my pets, and I play guitar. I’m also an avid writer so this whole blogging thing is like second nature to me (I must practice self-restraint to insure that this post does not evolve into a novel). I’ve been attending church since I was young and around the middle of middle school I started really taking taking my faith seriously and making it my own, demanding answers to my own questions (and learning that there aren’t always answers) and personally investigating God and striving to know and follow him better. HSM has really helped me grow in my faith and introduce to me to a ton of snazzy Christ-followers who’ve stood together for the years. I’m praying that God will show in my actions while in Romania and that, through him, I can show the orphans there the type of love that I have been shown.

Again, super excited for this trip and also excited to help lead worship at camp! Yay for Romanian worship songs!
