Hi Team!  Before I tell you about myself, I need to tell you how blessed I already am to be a part of this team!  My name i

s Kacie Rife I will be co-leading the trip this summer :)   I am 24 and I currently live in Lawrence, KS.  I teach 3rd grade (this is my second year teaching) and we have one more month to go...  I LOVE my students, they have stolen my heart.  I have lived in Kansas all of my life and even though I love God's world and traveling, Kansas is my home and I love it.  In the summer of 2007 I lived in the Amazon Jungle and did ministry with Jorge (the missionary we will be with).  I was so blessed by his ministry and by the people of the Jungle that I have been praying for Christ to give me the opportunity to return.  Well, it seems that my time has come!  Ok, now let me think... a little about me... well, I enjoy most things, sports, reading, watching movies, etc.   Yet, I would have to say my favorite thing to do is spend time with the people I love.
