Entry #2. Called to Serve

Image
The summer of 2016,  I went on the trip of a lifetime. I traveled to the Dominican Republic to help serve ' Del Corazon de Jesucristo ' a non-profit Christian ministry.  A doctor and his wife from my church, have a medical, sports, and education organization in a small town called El Catey in the Dominican Republic.   These are pictures of the campus which began as a dream in a little shack and grew to this amazing campus. The property includes a pristine baseball field that was made possible by grants given by the Arizona Diamondbacks Organization, classrooms, a covered pavilion, and a medical clinic.  Dr. Steve and Julie Dorsey welcomed a group from my church to help run a Vacation Bible School for a week. Our team joined young men from North Carolina, New York and Hawaii who were there for the summer to run a little league program for the summer.  The mission of our trip was to share the love of Christ with the chil...

Entry #1. Learning about Blogs.

Introduction!

You can usually find me with my best friend Maddie eating, shopping or on a road trip. I have known Maddie for my whole life! My uncle married her aunt before we were born and we share cousins so whether we like it or not, we will always be connected. Being spontaneous is one of my favorite things about our friendship. Two weeks ago we went to Sedona and went on a Pink Jeep tour , It was such an amazing experience. We took the Scenic Rim tour and hiked to the top of a mountain. As we were getting ready to head home we made the decision to get matching tattoos.  My biggest pet peeve is when people crack their necks however, one of my biggest passions is helping children in third world countries. Twice a year I go pack food for Feed My starving Children, which is a non-profit christian organization that provides nutritious food for children around the wo...
