Hi! My name is Emily Bernard, I am thirteen years old, and I live in Fort
Mill, South Carolina. I am presently an eighth grader at Fort Mill Middle
School and will be going to Nation Ford High School next fall! I love theatre,
singing, and being with my friends. I’ve been taking piano for four years and I
have been in two plays at Nation Ford High School. What I love most is babies
and little kids! I volunteer every week with the babies and toddlers at the
Forest Hill campus in Rock Hill. I just can’t get enough of the little cuties!
This trip to Haiti is going to be
my first mission trip, and I’m thrilled to be going. What boosted me the most
in deciding to take part in this trip to Haiti was the fact that we would be
visiting an orphanage! I’m really looking forward to helping out there and
teaching them more about God! Another thing I’m excited about is building
relationships with the group that’s going and the Haitians. I’m sure I’ll make
a lot of friends, and meet a lot of awesome people! I am nervous about a few
things that I will be encountering, but excitement definitely overpowers those
worries!
The Bible mentions MANY times that
we should serve God by helping the weak and poor. One example of this is:
“In all things I have shown you that by working
hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord
Jesus, how he himself said, `It is more blessed to give than to receive.`”
Going on this mission trip will be a great way for me to help the weak, and I’m
very excited about it! J
