In four days, I will be on an Aeuroflot flight headed to Moscow, Russia which will be re-directed to Yerevan, Armenia.
I will be going with CYMA, which stands for Christian Youth Mission to Armenia. Every summer, this program takes young members of the Armenian church to their motherland to sight-see and to intern. This organization sprouted from ACYO, which is the youth group I have been involved with since I entered high school.
What started out as a two week tour is now a one month mission to "move mountains." While in Armenia, we will be working in orphanages and completing a service project where we will rebuild a home that was crushed by the tragic 1988 earthquake.
The following article published by the program explains everything we will be doing:

In Armenia, I will be living in a house with all of the other students. Some of these students I have known for a long time, and others I will be meeting for the first time. I am excited to get to know each and every one of them :)
Our trip is expected to be very busy, but I will do my best to update with all my epic adventures!
