Well, for those of you who do not know much about me, I’ll give a quick synapsis. I am from Florissant, MO. where I have grown up and lived the majority of my life. I graduated from Johnson Bible College in May 2010 with a major in Bible and 2 majors in Intercultural Studies on the Missions and TESOL tracks. I have a huge heart for Missions and the lost people in the world, and I hope that God will use me in spectacular ways to touch His children. I’m moving to Brazil in hopes to open a Music/Missions Institute in Goiania. God may move in mysterious ways, but I put my whole trust in Him and I know He’ll watch over both me and my team.
A few others hopes and dreams I have are the following: to one day travel to Cambodia; get a bicycle; own a castle; stand in the end of a rainbow; win the Nobel Peace Prize; discover that leprachauns and unicorns still exist.

Dani, I was sorry to hear about your grandfather passing away. I, too , found Merrill to have been a very humble man. With a strong belief in God your grandfather accomplished many achievements in life. I thought it was fitting in the mens Sunday school last week that Dennis brought his dads bible. How we knew this is that he read a passage from 1 John which we are studying now in ss. David and the rest of the class who had NIV’s knew that it wasn’t from his bible. Dennis stated that he was taking that bible to his brother.
Best wishes on your stay and work in Brazil. Feel free to contact the missions team on prayer requests or other issues.

Unicorns do exist! I can’t speak for leprechauns though…
