Christy Russell - Building faith and relationships

I decided to go to New Oleans because it was a chance to have a really good experience. I've always wanted to go somwhere outside of my hometown, and have an opportunity to be able to help people improve their life. I am expecting this trip to be very fruitful in alot of ways. After the trip is over, I hope that my faith will have gotten a lot stronger, as well as my relationships with others on the team. The main thing is that I'm really excited to simply be able to help the families in New Orleans, and to hear the different stories from the individuals affected by Katrina.
