hey guys! post number two

My name is Andy Scutta and i am seventeen..turning eighteen in December! (i am getting old) i can not express the excitement that is overflowing inside me about the up coming events God has placed in front of me. i can not wait to meet each and everyone of you as we become family on our travels. i will be graduating from New Oxford High School in PA (super small school/town)  this December, i was given the chance to do an early completion. (thank goodness) High School has been a huge challenge for me, due to my beliefs i have lost more friends than gained. the older i am getting the more okay with this i am becoming. i am a HUGE sports freak! i have played basketball, field hockey, volleyball, track and field, soccer, baseball, and so much more. i don't like watching sports on TV that much though i like to be out there playing! my biggest passion is little kids. there is this huge whole in my heart that only they can seem to fill. i find so much joy in helping a little one grasp faith or hope where they have seemed to lost it or have never been taught it. i am most excited about getting to work in the orphanages!! i myself have lost myself and faith at certain points in my life, and am just now figuring out what God has planned for me. God has given me a second chance at happiness and i believe i will find it in Kenya. the things i have gone through i try not to let define me of effect my everyday life, i am now ready to hear the stories of others, experience a new culture, and be apart of a new family. i have found God always has something waiting around the corner to restore your faith or help give you a purpose. all of us are so blessed to be given this opportunity, and my gut is telling me i will be helped way more than i could help anyone else. for one of the very first times in my life i feel like this is my place. i am praying for all of you and am more than excited to see all of your shinning faces and get to know all of your huge hearts! the world we are living in is too big of a puzzle for us to solve but we've got to start somewhere.

thinking of you guys!
