The Beginning of a New Adventure


In less than 72 hours I will be in San Diego preparing to start my summer job as a translator in Baja. My preparation started a long time ago. I have been studying Spanish for 7 years and have often wondered if I would ever get to the point where I could do a job like this one. I have been to Baja many times in the past 8 years and each time my love for this place and these people grow. I am excited about the opportunity I have to work in Baja for the summer.

Saying all of that, this was not an easy choice for me. I have the most amazing family and friends that I could ever ask for and leaving them is difficult for me. I have struggled with and prayed about this decision many times over the past several months and ultimately decided that Baja was where God wanted me to be this summer. I am ready to get out of my comfort zone and use the passions and gifts God has given me to bring glory to Him. I am blessed to have the support of my family and friends and am ready to begin a new adventure!

I plan to keep this blog updated, hopefully checking in at least once a week. Feel free to check in as often as you like, enjoy!
