Vannetta Gets Quizzed

1. Your favorite thing to do while at the beach is…

Surfing
Building sand castles
Searching for shells
Walking along the waves

Vannetta explains: I’m crazy about sea shells, especially sand dollars. I take them home, rinse off the sand and salt water, and put them out on my back patio.

2. The thing you most enjoy about traveling is…

Meeting new people
Trying new food or activities
Discovering new things about yourself
Being in a new environment for a while

Vannetta explains: I adore traveling, absolutely love going to new places, seeing new things, and yes, meeting new people. I like sampling the food and taking pictures. I like seeing how other people live. But what I like most about being in a new environment, is that it makes me appreciate home.

3. The character from Joshua’s Mission who most resembles you is…

Joshua Kline
Alton Kline
Becca Troyer
Charlie Everman

Vannetta explains: I am a little like Charlie, in that I’d like the world to stand still for a few moments. He’s nostalgic about the past, and he has good reason to be. I feel that way sometimes, and I have to be reminded that God’s in charge of such things, not man.

4. The most interesting topic you researched for the book was…

Hurricanes
Mennonite Disaster Service
Rebuilding after a natural disaster
Amish travel

Vannetta explains: Of course it’s really all of those things, but it was fascinating for me to learn how MDS commits to a particular place that has suffered a natural disaster, and then stays there until the work is done. They are literally being the hands of Christ to strangers.

5. Of the following, your favorite sea creature is a…

Stingray
Puffer fish
Starfish
Shark

Vannetta explains: Those puffer fish are pretty funny.

Your turn! Which answers would you pick for this quiz? Let us know in the comments, and join us on Wednesday for Part 2 of the interview!
