I'm Ashley and I'm the main author of this blog. I'm from Blacksburg, Virginia and attend Auburn United Methodist Church.
I'm engaged to a wonderful man and we'll be getting married in January. I am the proud puppy-parent of a three year old miniature dachshund, Sassafras ("Sassy" for short), who is my number one side-kick. I work as a Community Health Educator and I'm the Director of Youth Ministry at Auburn UMC. I enjoy traveling both in the US and abroad. I am very active in breast cancer awareness, advocacy and fundraising. I participated in the 2010 Washington DC Susan G. Komen 3-Day 60 mile walk and I completed my first half marathon in June which raised money for the American Cancer Society.
I joined the Auburn UMW almost six years ago and I am the current president of our circle.
This will be my second international mission trip. I was a member of the 2008 Wytheville District Mission Team to Slovakia. My Slovakia trip was an experience beyond words and I am so thankful for this opportunity to travel to Brazil. I wanted to be a part of this team because I have a passion for women's issues and I love to learn about new places and new people.
He has shown all you people what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8
