Hello hello! My name is Emma Jones and I'm one of your four leaders (along with Josh, Amy and Karina). I am 21 years old and about to begin my senior year at Baylor University, where I'm major in Social Work and minoring in Spanish, lead Young Life at Waco High School, and do a million zillion other things that ensure that I never sleep. My passion for Christ has lead me to the mission field, and this will be my 17th mission trip, if we were counting. Because I'm not sure what else to say, ย here are 10 semi-interesting things about me:
1. I have small hands. I always wear kids' gloves and I can't grip a football
2. I'm very allergic to Pineapple
3. I spent the fall semester in Swaziland playing with babies and seeing the Lord do miracles rather than going to school
4. I have a sister who will be a freshman at University of Texas next year
5. I spent 7 weeks in Nicaragua with AIM the summer after my freshman year of college
6. I love handwriting and giving off the illusion that I'm artsy without really being artsy
7. I have zero musical talent, but I enjoy improving duets
8. I own lots of books, but I hate reading, and never open them
9. I like to laugh and have fun and be crazy. I don't even remember the last time I was purely serious.ย
10. Once, in 6th grade, I went in for a haircut and came out looking like a shaggy dog. I was scarred for years and still hate getting haircuts
I can't wait to meet all of you, to love all of you, and to experience the Lord in incredible new ways this summer! I'm an AIM veteran and I'd be so glad to answer any questions you have! You can email me at: emma_jones@baylor.edu, call me at 713-907-4616, find me on facebook, or just write me a letter. Let me know how I can help you. Get ready for the best summer of your life!
