Hey Guys!

Sorry this is so late, but I joined the trip just a few days ago. I thought I wasn't going to be able to come because of a summer job I had to do, but I rearranged the dates and now I can come!

Well first off, I go by Elliot. I live in South Carolina on a little island called Sullivans Island. I absolutely love the beach! I enjoy swimming, going to the beach or pool, going out on the boat, and laying out in the sun! I love hanging out with my friends, they are like family to me. I'm going to be a senior next year and I hope to either go to Clemson or Notre Dame for college. I'm have two brothers and one sister that are all older than me, so I'm the youngest out of four kids.

I go to  Stella Maris Church and I've been involoved in my church youth group and participated in our Bible School, but i've never gone on a Mission Trip. I'm really excited to go and spread God's name, but at the same time I'm really nervous because I've never done anything like this so I'm afraid that I'm lacking experience. I hope that on this Mission trip I can become closer to God, and at the same time I can help others do the same. God has always been in my life since I was a child, but it wasn't really until last year when I started building a solid relationship with God. I'm trying to be the best Chrisitian that I can be, and on this trip I hope my relationship with God gets even better.

I can't wait to meet everyone!
