Ashley: On the second night of Urbana 06 I received a call with news that my grandmother (who had always lived with our family) had passed away. My heart was broken, and I was ready to fly back to Ontario, but after praying I realized that Urbana was an amazing opportunity to learn about God, missions, and myself. Although it was difficult, I chose to miss my grandmother's wake but was home in time for the burial. I do not regret the amazing experience I had at Urbana. I have been motivated to live a life truly worthy of God's calling.
