Well, the time is 
here! After 7 months of waiting, several fundraisers, and a TON of packing, I’m heading to Toronto, and I fly out tomorrow afternoon! As the time has gotten closer I have been a little anxious, but I know once I arrive in Georgia things will come together and I won’t be able to contain my excitement!
It is unreal to look back on October when I became interested in doing some sort of mission, everything has come together with amazing ease. From raising money, to convincing my parents, to tying together all kinds of last minute details, God is good! The needs of me, and my team have been met and I know that this is only the beginning! I can’t wait to see how the Lord will use us all when we arrive in Peru, and start ministering the people of Mushu! Its sure to be an adventure!
While I am gone I will have the chance to post updates on here, although due to my rural location I’m not sure how frequent they will be. But every chance I get I will fill everyone in!
Thanks again to everyone who has supported me along this journey. The Lord has, and continues to provide through your financial contributions, prayers, words of encouragement, and love!
I can’t wait to see you all when I come home!
Sarah!
I love the picture you included of the plane, haha it showed your sweet spunky personality. Have an AMAZING time in peru !
Hi Sarwa (as Connor use to say)
How do ya do in Peru? Hey do you want to hear something crazy? Connor is at your house for a sleepover with Mackenzie. Don’t worry, he’s not sleeping in your room…apparently it’s not clean enough…that’s according to your mom, you know the not cool one. Actually, your mom misses you sooo much that she’s stolen my son. I don’t know, I guess I’ll get him back in the morning.
Also, I gotta tell you something funny, when I went to pick Connor up from ABK there was all these “older” girls calling out “Hi Connor”, “Bye Connor”, “See you later Connor” and I thought to myself “what the heck?! Turns out that you told your friends about Connor. Thanks so much – you are such a special gem. There you are thousands and thousands of miles away and yet you still have an impact on us.
Well I hope you’re having a great time and looking forward to hearing all your stories when you get back.
hugs & kisses,
Kelly

Hello again Darling,
The courier could not get your memory card to you in time. I emailed AIM and the reply said they’d try to help you get one, but you could also try at the airport tomorrow. The itinerary shows 8 hrs in Ft Lauderdale. I think you’ll have time!
I read about the 12′ wall team climb. Wow! Sounds like you guys are having an incredible experience!
We’re all great here. I caught a fish this weekend! Thanks for the great card!
Talk to you soon!
Love, Mommy Dearest!
Sarah! You have no idea how much I miss you.
Last night I had a dream that your huts caught on fire and me and Rachael had to come and save you. I woke up in tears. And then today your mom called me and told me all about you trip and how much fun your having. I was soo glad she called me, I was worried about you lol
Your mom told me that you said for me to not do anything dumb. Don’t you worry about me, I’m being good. I love you so so so much and I hope your having an amazing time.

Kelly is sooo funny, thinking she’s the cool one!!! I picked up Connor in the “Looser Cruiser” (as Mackenzie calls the bus) and i was sooooo cool!
Mackenzie and Connor had a great time hanging out and talking about ABK while Kelly and Cameron finished moving.
Julie and Mackenzie left Sunday to visit Poppy at the cottage for a few days.
Dad and I are working away, getting a bit of time off here and there, but not much.
Katherine moved to Parry Sound for the summer! Alyssa took Rachael to the mall, she got her G2!!!!
So, all is well here, can’t wait to see you! Hope all is well with you.
