Me! : )

1. Your name, year, school, and major

Well, in case you haven't figured it out, my name is Martha Julie Griswold. : ) I graduated from Ave Maria with a degree in Philosophy, but since then I've served at the University of Nebraska as a FOCUS missionary for three years, and at Georgia College as team director for one year. Next year, I'm headed to University of Miami to serve as TD again. (and in case you're wondering, that's me with my little...but bigger...brother on his graduation day)

2. If you could spend one day doing anything, what would it be? Hhhmm, first I'd wake up (NOT to an alarm), drink coffee on the beach, and then go for a run. I'd go to Mass and pray a holy hour with the Lord, and then spend the rest of the day with friends hanging out, walking on the beach, and spending a lot of great quality time in the sunshine. I'd make a delicious dinner and share it with people who I love, and then spend time playing games and laughing until our stomachs hurt. 

3. What kind of music do you listen to? Mumford and Sons, The Avett Brothers, Audrey Assad, Ben Rector, and Taylor Swift...there, I said it. Don't judge me. 

4. What inspires you? Stories of the life of Jesus and the saints, and really any stories about people who show heroic sacrifice. 

5. What countries have you traveled to/lived in? Italy, Mexico, Honduras, Dominican Republic, Guyana, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines. 

6. Do you prefer sunrise or sunset and why? I love BOTH! : )

7. What is your favorite passage in Scripture? 2nd Corinthians 12:7-10

8. What are you most excited about with this mission trip? Ummm....everything? Getting to know y'all, encountering Christ in a deeper and more intimate way, being totally stripped of the stuff that I depend on, and getting to know the people who we're there to serve.
