Salutations reader,

My name is Charles Xu. I am currently a senior at Memorial High School, and will be graduating this forthcoming June. 

I haven't (yet) been a part of any missions trips outside of the United States of Amurrica, so this experience will be a first. I just know that there are two things like I like to do in service: grunt work in the sun, and hanging out with little kids. From what I've heard, this trip will pretty much overload those two things. 

But in all seriousness, I look forward to a lot of spiritual growth. I feel like living in a place so well equipped and provided have made in really hard to trust God for every need, seeing that everything is so accessible. I hope to be able to experience a new taste of life, where dependence on God is everything. That's pretty much my life goal in a nutshell.

And with all that said, I now leave with a very narcissistic photo of myself. Enjoy
