I went to Santa Cruz, Bolivia for a mission trip in July 2006 through my local church. It gave me a new perspective on the world and also taught me lessons about the value of taking risks, getting out of my comfort zone and how people-groups in totally different cultures can love each other. I worked with children, women and met teens living in poverty. This was the first time I used my passport.. it broke me in and now I’m ready for more overseas travel!!
