Words can’t really describe how excited I am about the Brazil mission trip our team is going to be taking in May. I have never been on a mission trip, nor have I ever been to South America, so the combination is mind-boggling!
I can’t wait to reach out to all of the young children in Rio and hopefully touch their lives in some way. I know that this trip is going to be an eye-opener, so I need to have great strength throughout the visit. We have such a great group of girls on our volleyball team who have such great hearts and spirits that I know this trip is going to be so much fun and a memory I will have in my heart forever.
Not only am I looking forward to interacting with children of Brazil, but I am also looking forward to playing professional and college volleyball teams. It should be quite an experience! Brazilian’s are known to be amazing at volleyball, so hopefully we can pick up some tips and pointers to improving our play. We get the chance to practice with the Brazil national team and I cannot wait! I already told our assistant coach, Tony that I’m going to have to duck tape pillows to my body to prevent injury from their hits! Nonetheless, it is a once in a lifetime opportunity that I’m sure I will never forget!
This trip will just be such an incredible and rare experience for me. Never have I dreamed of getting to travel to a different country for a mission trip, but especially not with the best friends I’ve ever had. I’m really looking forward to the experience and I know it is going to change my life forever.
