my name is Garrett Stephenson, I am 17
and live in Port Orchard Washington.  I am currently doing
running start at Olympic College.  Before joining that program
however, I was homeschooled throughout my entire education.  One
of my favorite things in the world to do is to play soccer.  Any
time I can find to play soccer is awesome!  I am also involved
with track and field in which I do short distance sprints 100m or
200m.  Another one of my favorite things to do is play the
trumpet.  I am in a band that plays music from both the movie
theme genre and from Jazz.  I also play my trumpet in cantatas
that my church puts on for Christmas and Easter.  I live in a
family of 11, (6 boys-3girls+mom/dad)their ages range from 2-19.  
Living in a big family has been awesome!  I really enjoy
spending time with my younger siblings.  I believe God has prepared me for working with kids.  I have never been on
a mission trip before or even off the North American continent, so I
am very excited to be traveling all the way to Kenya!  I cant
wait to see all that God is planning for us to see and experience
during this trip!
