NIKKI :)

Hello everyone! First off I want you all to know how extremely excited I am to be apart of this trip and of this team. I never thought I would be taking part in an experience like this. This is my first mission trip and I cannot think of better individuals to go with. I transferred into Sterling College in the fall of 2008 on a soccer scholarship as a junior, majoring in Criminal Justice. As soon as I heard about this opportunity I knew I wanted to be apart of it. Thanks to my very generous family, friends, and team all of this came true for me. I am very excited to not only strengthen my relationship with God but to do the same for the people of Thailand. I am not a very serious person, I enjoy goofing my way through anything I possibly can. Soccer has been my life since before I can remember, and I plan to keep getting my soccer fix through coaching. I love all kinds of sports, but mostly I just like the idea of being outdoors, being active, and having fun. I would like to think that meeting new people, and making others laugh is a strong quality of mine. Although I do not know what to expect out of this Thailand trip I know that it will be one of the most positive experiences in my life, and that’s all I can ask for. One of my favorite quotes to live by is, “If God meant for today to be perfect, he would not give us tomorrow!”

Hey all!

First off, want to say that I am very thankful to be a part of this team! I am excited for what God has planned for us! I hope and pray that through our efforts and God's power, lives will be changed in Thailand!

This will be my first missions trip! I grew up around missions as an MK, but have never been a part of a team! I am excited and slightly nervous, wondering how God will use me to reach out to the people of Thailand!

I transferred into Sterling this year and am working towards an Art & Design major. I get to play my favorite sport here at Sterling--volleyball! I enjoy most things outdoors like hiking, biking, camping, cliff jumping, jet skiing, etc. I love music and singing. I have a passion for photography. I like meeting new people. And I love putting smiles on people's faces! I dream that someday and even now, God will use all my passions to make a difference in people's lives for His glory!

I am looking forward to the hot, tropical weather of Thailand and experiencing the Thai culture! Can't wait to update you all after our time in Thailand! Thanks for your prayers and support! God bless!
