That’s What’s Up

I've experienced God meeting me with love, compassion, and grace in the midst of my doubt and questioning. God’s love for me is so great! He’s put some amazing people in my life before this trip and for this trip. I’m bonding quite well with a few of my teammates and am looking forward to growing closer to the rest of them. God has been continuously giving and showing me His compassion for His people. A desire to share that Jesus loves you to Nicaragua has been placed on my heart. Ephesians 1:7-8 àgrace. Even though I have experienced great things, from...

We've almost made it! Training camp is almost over and it has seriously been an adventure in missions! So much has happened that it's hard to put into words. We've been able to learn, play, worship, paint, run, dance, and even play ultimate frisbee. It has been awesome to get to know our team of 15 people who will serve God together in Nicaragua for the next two months. Each of us are so different but that's what makes it beautiful! I cannot wait to love Jesus with them. I think the Lord has been teaching me a lot about surrender this...

If you’ve never been to Nicaragua, let me tell you a few things

You Know You're In Nica When… A 2 Liter soda seems so small…and is cheaper than water. The meat in your enchilada is always unknown. There are at least 3 people on every bicycle and motorcycle. You wear jeans so the sweat doesn't show on your legs after a 5 second ride in the truck. You're not worried about great black billows of smoke coming from across the street You may have to get creative if you want to run every day. Fighting off dogs is a common issue. Out of nowhere,...

Don’t Expect Us to Come Back the Same

***A note to all parents, siblings, relatives, friends, acquaintances, supporters, church members, etc. of AIM Passport participants*** "No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river, and he's not the same man." -Heraclitus At the beginning of this trip, you parents were most likely ensured by us or AIM staff that we would be returned to you safely. It was the little comfort that we could give you as you sent us off to different, dangerous parts of the world with much more unknown than the known. I'm sorry to tell you this, but we will not be...

A Massive Collection of LONG-overdue Pictures

WordPress was a whole lot easier to upload photos to so here is a link to the actual photo blog that I made: http://haillekrieg.wordpress.com/2012/05/01/a-massive-collection-of-long-overdue-pictures/

A Mom blog

When I left on this trip, we had 11 young adults varying in age from 18 to 22 years old. I pictured myself as a youth group leader, hopefully with slightly less of the "ssshhhhhhh"-ing during a church service. I never pictured myself turning into a MOM. I didn't realize it was happening until I had already begun the transition. I mean, as a leader you are answering questions every day about every subject, so that started day 1. Travel days, making sure everybody is together and accounted for and nobody gets lost. But it was...
