Meandering through the narrow aisles of the luscious vineyards in Naples, Italy, sophomore Courtney Taylor is taking in the scenery. In her mind’s eye, she is back in the Neapolitan countryside, which she visited this past summer. Her church group took a mission trip to the world renowned getaway to minister to the locals and enjoy the historic town.

“We basically went to a park and talked to the locals”, Taylor said. “We also tried to witness to them”.  While in Italy, she visited Rome and its vicinity and did community work in the area.  Taylor is very eager to return there soon.

Back at home, Courtney is a big fan of playing soccer.  She will probably play for the school team this year. Taylor also enjoys shopping and food.  God, family, and friends are the center of her life and define her personality.

Courtney has big goals for her future.  She intends on going to college and starting a family.  Maybe she will eventually start a family and move back to Naples, Italy.
