Team Bio: Johanna Frack

Hey everyone! 

I'm Johanna Frack and I have blue eyes.  I am 19 years old and this year (when I turn 20) my birthday is on Thanksgiving day! I'm very outgoing and most of my friends think I am crazy (a very well founded conclusion about me).  I am very talkative.  I love to be silly and to encourage others around me.  I also like learning things because I am a nerd.  Currently, I am teaching myself how to play the guitar (I already can play the clarinet).  Also, I like to be very active.  I used to be a ballerina, a crew member, a gymnast, and a hockey player (unfortunately I am not good at mainstream sports, like soccer).  A warning to those who will spend any time around me:  I seem to be accident prone.  I tend to find ways to injure myself and embarass myself.  Feel free to laugh heartily when those moments happen.

I've been going to Rivertree since the summer of 2007, which is when my family moved to Huntsville, AL from Virgina Beach, VA.  I've been a Christian since I was a young girl.  I've grown up in a family of believers who are continually seeking the Lord, which I appreciate greatly. My parents have taught me how to search for God constantly and to seek answers to my questions. (thanks mom and dad!)  Oh, and I have two brothers and two dogs.

Right now, I am a student at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington (I just finished my first year!).  I'm studying to be nurse, but I am not sure what type of nurse just yet.  I do know that I want to be a light for God wherever I go in life.  Hopefully, one day God will call me to be a missionary and I can use the skills I learn in the mission field.

I haven't been on alot of mission trips, only the ones that my youth group were involved with.  This will be my first international mission trip!  But it isn't my first time out of the country. My dad has been in the Navy since before I was born, so we moved around alot.  I have lived on both sides of the United States and also in Italy.  And because my mother is a German citizen, we often go to Germany and France to visit relatives. Also, I have two citizenships:  USA and Germany.  I think that's pretty cool.

I am so excited for this trip and to do God's work! It's going to be amazing and a memory I will keep forever!
