Teammate Spotlight: Moriah A. Michieli

- Role: Stats, Supplies

- Resides In: Littleton, CO

- Birthday: August 10th

- Before NET: Graduated high school. Almost went to NET Ireland, but was not meet the age requirement in time.

- First Encounter: After Team Announcement Night, and we met as a team together immediately after for the first time. We legit never saw eachother at Wapo, so I introduced myself to her there.

- Initial Thoughts: She seems civil. Can't believe I just never saw her the first two weeks of training, but here we are I guess.

I uploaded four photos instead of two because we took alot of photos with/of eachother, and I couldn't pick just one. Our relationship was built on taking photos, mainly because when we did they turned out to be amazing. So here we are.

(Left) At Sarah's house in Erie, PA. "Isaiah, we're matching colors! Let's take a photo!" -Moriah. That's how this photo was born. Strange reasoning, but awesome photo, so I'll take it. (Right) On top of Holy Hill Basilica in February. Yes, I am holding her phone, don't judge.

(Left) Belmar Beach, NJ, March. Moriah and I got adventurous by going on these rocks, and after making it, decided to make photo shoot out of it. We had one other photo-op in snowy Minnesota in January, which turned out successful too, but this is my favorite out of them all. She got some amazing portraits of me this year too, none of which you will see on this page. (Right) Painting a church sacristan, February. Not much to comment on this pic, just amazingly aesthetic.

- Favorite Memory: This may sound horrible, but all the brainfart moments Moriah had this year make me laugh hard to this day. She was notorious for them, especially when it came to geography. One of the first host homes, she asked a family how they like Minnesota. She forgot we were in Chicago. Things like this happened alot to her, and of course being very exact on where we were, she asked me where we were alot this year.

- What I Will Miss: I will miss the nature of our relationship! Because I was the youngest guy on the team, and she was the youngest girl, we created this childish environment around each other for being the "youngest siblings". It was purposefully obnoxious, childish, rebellious, and wild, and I loved every bit of it because it allowed me to be chaotic when I needed to/wanted to. It was fun, and because we must act so mature in ministry, I needed that childish fun in my life.

- What the World Should Know About Moriah: She is a fireball of energy, and she only slows down if she wants to. She'll make anytime a good time, and can lighten any mood with one sentence. Furthermore, she does everything with a purpose, and sets her up for success based on her decisions, which I greatly appreciate. And most importantly, she is extremely strong and courageous in her faith, and I am grateful to be her sister in Christ.

Dear Moriah,

Lil sis! Thank you for all the memories we created this year, especially in the second half of this year. You really made an attempt to know me personally and I'm grateful for it. Also, thank you for allowing me to be your personal assistant this year in many aspects, I appreciated that alot. You have such a bright future, and I cannot wait to see you "grow up" and see where God takes you. Love you.
