If
I had to describe my Acteens leader in one word it would be compassionate. I
remember the first day I walked into her Acteens class. I was scared to death
because I didn't know anybody. I hadn’t been to church since I was in
kindergarten. I came in clueless. I had no idea what a missionary was or why
anybody would ever want to be one. The lesson she taught us that night was
about Lottie Moon and why we take up an offering every year that's named after
her. The things Kelley taught me that night and from then on have really opened
my eyes to the world we live in today. My perspective of this world has completely
changed and now I wonder how people aren't doing everything they can to be a
missionary locally and globally.

My first night in Acteens was the first
time I had ever met Kelley and the love and compassion she poured out for me
isn't measurable. She saw the potential in me that nobody else did and when she
invited me to come back I couldn't say no. Now I have goals set to live on the
mission field and this summer I am going to be a summer missionary with the
North American Mission Board as a sojourner. My relationship continues to grow
with Kelley just as my love for missions has.
