Hey Everyone!

I am Ashley Hall and I am going to be helping out Corey and Laura this summer in leading you guys around Ireland! I am so excited to be joining you guys in reaching out to people in need.

This past year I have been interning at Adventures In
Missions in the Admissions Department.
I have grown to have a better relationship with Christ and I have been
able to experience things that I have never experienced with God before. At the
end of our internship we were given the opportunity to help lead an Ambassador
trip to a place of our choice. Of course, I prayed about it and let God lead my
decision. As I prayed about it for a while I didn't know if this is what God
had for me. Or maybe it wasn't what I wanted for myself. I was getting nervous
about leaving the country and the things that I was used to and the more I
thought about it the more I got comfortable with things that surrounded me. I
made up excuses for myself as to why I shouldn't be going to Ireland and I had
made my decision not to go. A couple weeks after I had made my decision not to
go God started doing things in my life that were amazing! I gave over things to
God that belonged to Him and that I didn't need to have on my shoulders
anymore. I gave him my fear that I had towards certain things and He released
that from me. God started speaking to me and He started bringing Ireland back
into the picture. He gave me a desire to go out and serve Him and do work for
His kingdom. I started reading through all of your bios and taking an interest
into your guy's lives and God made it apparent to me that I was supposed to be
a part of this group. I am so excited to be spending a month with you guys in
Ireland and I cannot wait to see the things that He puts in place for us.

Here is a little bit about me and what I like:

I am from Fishers, Indiana and I graduated from a Christian
school in 2006. I took one year of college and then I found Adventures In
Missions and began my internship, when I get back from Ireland I will be coming
on staff with AIM. I have a younger
sister, Molly, and her and I have become really close in the past couple of
years. She is my best friend and it's hard being away from each other now that
we are both doing different things in our lives. My parents are amazing people
and they have taught me a lot in life. I am a very family oriented person and I
really like spending time with them. I have been in a relationship with my
boyfriend, Seth, for almost 5 years now and he is also part of this internship
that I am doing at AIM and he is a big part of my life! I'm sure you will get
to hear more about him later. I enjoy being outside, especially during the
winter season. I absolutely love snow and am big into snowboarding! Living down
in Georgia this year has been a change in seasons for me and I'm not quite sure
I like how hot it is getting here! As much as I like the sun and all I think I
prefer the cold winters up north.

I can't wait to get to know each one of you better and start
building a personal relationship with you guys! I'm so excited for June to come
and I'll finally get to meet you all! I am praying for each one of you every
day and asking God that He will start preparing your hearts for this trip!
