This morning Daniel and I drove Sarah (Aunt Roo, Joe's sister) to the airport. Today she leaves for a month-long trip to Uganda. Sarah has endured a very *fun* nine months since her college graduation trying discern God's will for this next stage of her life amidst a nearly impossible economy and teaching hiring freeze. For years, Sarah has shared her heart for international travel and missions but this year potential trips never quite fell in place. Finally, a door opened with our church Vintage21 to travel to Uganda for a month to assess the potential to begin ministry there involving meeting physical needs of people and raising up local leaders to plant a church. It is also a trip for Sarah to learn the hearts of the local people and develop a connection with them so that she can share that with church members and potential ministry partners upon her return. This trip is possibly only the first step of her journey and Joe and I couldn't be prouder of Sarah for trusting in God's provision of safety and guidance while also trusting church leadership. Selfishly, we are glad the trip is only a month, because we all love Sarah and know Daniel will be missing his Roo.
Tell her to pick up some paper beads!!! They are beautiful :)
