Hello!  My name is Courtney. I am 16 years old and have been homeschooled my entire life (unless you count pre-school and kindergarten).  I have lived in Michigan up until 1 1/2 years ago when my family and I packed up and moved to Iowa- yes, Iowa- due to my dad's job. We have now moved twice within this first year of living in Iowa. It has surely been a crazy year and a half but God has provided for us through it all.

I have two older  sisters (19 and 18) and one younger sisters (13).

I love music, reading, acting, and traveling. I can play the piano, and I love to sing. I have been in a few plays and I loved it.

I have been on two mission trips. One to Mississippi  and one to Washington D.C. They were both wonderful and very eye opening.  I have always wanted to go to Africa on a missions trip but it never happened. I just had to wait for God's timing, which can feel like forever sometimes. Now, here I am getting ready to go on this mission trip that has been the desire of my heart for such a long time. To be honest, it feels like a dream! God has blown my mind away while preparing for this trip.

I can't wait to see what God has planned for my life. I want to be a full-time missionary when I get out of school... that is my passion.

I can't wait to meet all of you. Just imagine, in a few mounths we will all be in Uganda, working in an orphanage!  I am so excited!
