My name is Alexis and I'm just about 18. I've spent most of my life growing up in Sherwood Park, Alberta and I am finally done high school.  I am an Oilers fan and a Saskatchewan Rough Riders fan. I love lots of different music and have been involved in a few different worship bands. I keep myself pretty busy playing volleyball, piano and working at Swiss Chalet. Despite the fact that I'm usually too busy to see them a lot, I love my family and friends. Probably one of my favourite things to do is take random trips with my sister to see far off friends and family. All our adventures and stories were worth the gas money and plane tickets. My grandparents were missionaries and all my life I've heard my dad tell his stories about growing up in West Africa, and now I'm excited to experience life outside of North America. God has given me a heart for missions and also for helping and encouraging other people. I pray that God will use me effectively where ever He takes me.
