Pretrip Thoughts From Helen
This is Helen’s first time on the Trip. She is one of the 4 Ladies on the Coed team.
Hello everyone. I’m really excited for our upcoming Katrina trip next week!
For many of you who do not know me, I’m a 3rd-year PhD student at USC studying pharmaceutical sciences. My everyday task consists of testing the thousands of chemical compounds we have in our lab in human cancer cells. I do a lot of pippeting (mixing small amounts of chemicals together), plan different experiments, make proteins and DNA and sometimes spend months writing grants asking for funding.
I’m glad I will be taking a break from all that and doing something very different in Katrina. Though building homes is not part of my training as a student, I know that it is part of my training as a Christian.
When I was talking to a coworker about my upcoming trip and what I’ll be doing, she said jokingly, “now if this PhD thing doesn’t work out, you have other trades to consider.” I was thinking about that and I’m reminded that it’s not about what I’ll be doing, but rather about who I will be serving. I’m not going because I’m qualified, but because God is using this opportunity to teach me humility and complete trust and dependence on Him.
2010 Teams are preparing!
2010 has arrived, and so our preparation has began!
Evergreensgv will be sending two teams this year, a Coed team (April 18-25), followed by an all Mens’ team (May 9-16 [yes, we know we leave Mother’s Day, but we’re leaving late that Sunday evening…])
It’s an exciting addition to have the Coed team, led by Mo and Carol Nakatsui
