Welcome to Hollywood!

Hello, All,



Welcome to my blog. Many of you already know that I am in Hollywood for a year doing urban ministry with the Presbyterian Church USA through their young adult volunteer program.



I live in the city of Hollywood, CA. This statement alone may bring many pictures to your mind. The movie stars, the crazy traffic, the beach. When I first mentioned that I was headed to Hollywood, many people asked me if I had been cast in a movie. At first my reaction was to laugh and give a description of the program I'm participating in, but I actually ended up convincing someone that I had been cast as Liesl in a remake of the Sound of Music. My joke was foiled, however, when they replied that the Sound of Music could never be remade without Julie Andrews. True statement, which is why I am not in Hollywood to be in a movie!



I am in Hollywood to live in an intentional Christian community and serve in my neighborhood, which is made up of predominantly migrant people from Latin and South America. I also intern 32 hours a week at an agency called PATH, which stands for People Assisting the Homeless. I look forward to the coming year and all that the Lord is equipping me to do and learn in Him. And I also look forward to updating all you on what is going on in the city of Hollywood, CA!
