I have some exciting news...Voy a Mexico! I am going to Mexico!
In August I will be graduating from Physician Assistant School and will take my boards! I will be a real life PA after 5 years of wonderful (& painful) hard work. I decided that before I enter the workforce I want to take some time serving in a medical clinic. If you know me, you know that I've talked about being a missionary for many years. In fact, this desire to do mission work encouraged me to pursue PA school in the first place. I feel that medicine opens doors and is a simple way to help others and show kindness. On this trip, I hope to learn the in's and out's of being a medical missionary. I have been on enough service trips to know that the life of a missionary is by no means easy. At the same time, I don't think I fully comprehend what it means to be a medical missionary. Serving in Mexico for 2+ months, side by side with a Mexican missionary doctor, will give me a glimpse of what it means to serve overseas with medicine. This trip is a way for me to dedicate my future career as a PA to God. It will help me to start off on the right foot, and keep my head in the right place. I look forward to giving back, loving others, and sharing Jesus through medical missions. So yes, In October I will be traveling to Mexico with an organization called WEC International. I will be living in the jungle and serving the indigenous community. I don't fully know what I am getting myself into, but I trust Jesus and know that somehow it will all work out. Thank you for your constant support of my crazy adventures and missions. I would love your prayers! In addition, if you would like to support me you can either reach out to me personally or give through gofundme! https://www.gofundme.com/mexico-medical-missions Love you all!
