I am so excited for the up coming months where we all get to know one another and prepare for this amazing journey.  I will start by saying a few quick words on how I ended up going on this trip.

  It all started about a month and a half ago, I had my dream job as a EMT working River Rescue and my dream job was about to become my dream career... But God had other plans. Because I am not a fan of school I had the mindset of get it done ASAP!! I managed to get all college done by the age of 18.  Great in theory.. but reality not so much.... I learned I could not get hired on to year around work until I am 21. (some insurance laws) I then found myself jobless a few weeks later when the season ended. My precious plan had failed me. 

  God said to me from the second I found out that I couldn't get hired on, "I am clearing out the wrong so the right can be put in." I stumbled onto the passport page, read about Africa, and fell in love!! I applied and was accepted! YAY (fast forward) ------>And that is how I ended up here, clinging to Christ enjoying HIS precious plan.  I've been praying for the group and leaders that are associated with this trip and I really look forward getting to know y'all better!

Don't know how to creatively put this into the post... So I'll just tell ya, that I'm from Oregon.

Weeeeeeeeee!!!!! Kaitlyn. -or as my friends call me Kait.
