Hello Host Family!

My Name is Kallie and I am from Colorado Springs, Colorado, in the United States. I love traveling, meeting new people and experiencing foreign cultures. I am 19 years old and live with my wonderful parents and my siblings. I am the oldest of 4 children and have loved getting to be a part of their lives this year since I moved back home to live with them! We have also fostered 3 beautiful children for three years. They are no longer with us since they moved back with their biological parents, but I will always consider them part of the family. My father served in the US Navy and so we’ve lived in several places around the US. I graduated high school in 2021 after which I attended a Christian University for 1 year where I studied music and political science. After that year I decided I wanted to take some time away from college to travel. I left with a group of young adults from the US and Canada to serve as missionaries in Nicaragua and Costa Rica for a few months last semester. Jesus captured my heart during this trip. He taught me things about myself that I hadn’t realized before. He opened my eyes to who he was not only as Lord and king, but as my friend. I had been apathetic about my faith before, and I now know that I don’t want to live without having Jesus at the center of everything. My mission trip to central america also ignited a passion I didn’t realize I had! I love foreign languages! My native language is english. I have taken two years of Spanish in high school and some Latin in elementary, but I didn't enjoy it and didn’t learn a whole lot. I assumed that I just wasn’t blessed with a gift for languages, but this past semester changed that. My spanish skyrocketed once I was immersed. I loved being able to speak to my friends there in their native language without a translator. I now see language as such a beautiful and fascinating thing to learn and study. I have been learning some german through a language app, but know that the best way to learn a new language is to immerse yourself in it. I can’t wait to learn through experience! I mentioned that I was studying political science at university last year and so another part about living abroad that excites me is studying the various governments and political atmosphere outside of the United States. We are currently attending a non-denominational church in town and I’m invloved in a small young adults group from our church. A strong biblical community is incredibly important to me and so I’m looking forward to getting plugged into a local church in whatever city I end up going to!
