I hope that I may grow a more concrete and habitual spiritual life in Colón. I am currently discerning the path that my life will take after I return and I am looking for direction in where that might be taking me.

I hope to be an example of Christ and a life lead by Christ to the kids here at Santa Maria.

Savannah

San Diego, CA

San Diego State University / Philosophy

I am anticipating to deepen my relationship with the Lord and to grow in love for Christ and his people. I anticipate having more opportunities to appreciate simplicity. I know there will be much sanctification and opportunities to grow in humility and trust in God.  

I hope that as my spiritual life deepens the overflow will pour out into the people I am serving. I hope I am able to make Christ more known and loved by His people and to show the abundant love and mercy He has for them. I pray that I can be an example of life lived to the fullest according to God's vision. Whatever things I contribute to, big or small, I hope to do them with great love.
