What word would best describe you: Interesting.

Describe the perfect day: Waking up. Coffee with my dad at a crusty dinner. A bike ride with friends. Lunch with friends. Coffee time in a small cafe...with friends. Make music with friends. Cook dinner with my mom. Watch old VHS tapes of family adventures. Tell stories with friends and family. Lights out at 3:30am.

Who are the top 3 most influential people in your life: James Carl Turner. Mary Louise Turner. Amber lee Turner. Ryan James Turner. (ya ya i know there are 4...you love me get over it)

What’s going to be playing through your headphones on this trip: a mix of deliciousness here's a taste: Dylan, Marley, James Taylor, Ray Charles, Jack White, Ray LaMontagne, The Avett Brothers, John Mark McMillan, Glen Hansard, and i have a confession to make...I listen to Michale Buble "home" every time i ride on a plane. Tell no one.

Why did you sign up for this trip: As soon as the earthquake hit I felt called to go, the group i worked with in the past fell through so I was just waiting for the Lord to provide an opportunity...here it is.

What excites you most about this trip: Seeing the love of God at work in Haiti and in the midst of tragedy and hopelessness. He always looks so good in these times. (and im really really looking forward to hugging children who need it.)

What are you nervous about in this trip: I have the worst immune system in the history of humans..i do not want to get sick and miss out on being with people there.
How can people pray for you through this trip: Pray for Boldness.
