I had to write a bio of myself for this thing called the "adult leader binder" that is for...you guessed it, the adult leaders on site. I am very happy with the way it turned out, and I think that anyone who has ever spoken to me at all knows that this is who I am. I thought that it would be fun to share, in case any of you forgot who I am:
Hola!! My name is Kayla Hadley and I live in America’s “high-five.” Michigan has been very good to me, I was born in Southeast Michigan, grew up in Southeast Michigan, and you guessed it still live in Southeast Michigan. I also go to school in Michigan, but have branched out by moving a little further west. I am very excited to be here in Texas and working with you. It is going to be a great summer, and I am looking forward to getting to know you. I am studying Spanish and Global Studies as my majors and am following God’s call on my life to do missions (wherever and whenever He chooses to take me). I hope to start learning Arabic this coming fall, and continue learning more about the Muslim people whom I know God has given me a passion for. I love to be barefoot, run around, and sing all the time. I am a dedicated doodler, but lack the artistic ability to take it any further than the margins of my papers and YouthWorks signs. My favorite color is purple and I have recently become more and more attracted to indigo. I am beyond excited for this summer, and have been anxiously waiting meeting you. I find fun in almost anything. I like to be really enthusiastic sometimes so that others will join in. My thought process is something that I myself struggle to keep up with at times, but I would not have it any other way. I am the middle child with an older sister who is married, and a younger brother who is a sophomore in high school. Given the choice to have any animal in the whole world as a pet it would be a zebra, but since that is less than recommended, I chose any large dog that would not mind if I used it as a pillow. I tend to be a little less conventional than some people, as I am sure you have probably gathered. Who I am extends beyond this scattered paragraph, and I look forward to exchanging stories with you. I am not sure that I mentioned this, but I am very excited for this week!
By the way, I am doing very well, and we are almost done with our preparation. I learned that my biggest fear in life is small audiences, and it does not really matter because I have had to do little performance-like things for a maximum of three other people. Today I just finished speaking for 13 min to my site director giving him my Kids Club orientation. The days leading up to where when I knew that performing something for a small number is my biggest fear in life. I should not be writing this blog right now, because I have a lot to do, but I love y'all so much and wanted to share something short. Last thing: my first time tubing was great, I love the Cox family, Pastor Allen was missed while he was gone this weekend, and I get to give a parent orientation tonight :) hooray hooray!!! Friday I leave for Arkansas!!! woo hoo!!!!! Okay, I am in the mood to do this blogging thing all day. Maybe I should do my job though. Also to be noted, I am so looking forward to reading Crazy Love again this summer with my lovely Muffitt staff :)!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
mucho amor,
Kayla
You are so funny Kayla... you said that paragraph perfectly. It is so you! Especially:

HA! yup.. you would use anything as a pillow really, which is funny. But cute. I miss you .. a lot. But I know you are having a great time. I'll try to keep you posted on stuff.. I sent you my address at camp in a message on facebook, which is of course the easiest way to talk but texting works, too. I CAN'T BELIEVE I LEAVE FOR CAMP SUNDAY!! GAH!! lol I'm so excited. Keep smiling and giving everything to the glory of God! We'll talk soon. Love ya!! :)
