What is the biggest risk of faith you took at KU?
The biggest risk of faith I took at KU was saying yes to the invitation to make Jesus Christ the center of my life. I had no idea what that would look like or what I would have to give up, but that simple yes has changed my heart and my life in such a short amount of time!

How would you describe your experience of community at St. Lawrence?
When I first entered into the St. Lawrence community, I didn't know anyone and was thirsting for authentic friendship and community. Now several years later, St. Lawrence is a place for me to call home. I have met so many amazing people and developed friendships I will cherish forever. Every time I go to St. Lawrence, I can count on a community that will fill me up and help me to be my true self.

Who has been one of your greatest guides at St. Lawrence? How did they guide you?
Kellie, one of the FOCUS missionaries, has been one of my greatest guides here at St. Lawrence. By simply pursuing a friendship with me, she has shown me a side to myself and my faith that I never knew possible. I have been so lucky to have her as a friend and guide to walk with me and lead me closer to the person of Jesus!
