| Introduction | This picture was taken in March of 2007 in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was 70 degrees, and we were at 10,000 feet...Colorado is amazing. I am going to Uganda from March til August of this year. I am going with Juna Amagara Ministries (www.amagara.org) which was established in 2004 to help children orphaned because of AIDS. I will be leading a leadership program called ABIDE (think of it as a mini-cub scouts program). I graduated in the Fall of 2007 from Colorado State University with a degree in Technical Journalism. I want to eventually be a TV reporter for a major news organization. |

I also am working hard on trusting and having faith in God this year. He's showing me a lot of things and I still don't listen all the time. But I love God and I want to walk with Him more consistently. |
