Today marks one year of living in Peru!

When I think about the past year, I think of the dozens of trips, hundreds of volunteers I have met and countless conversations, hugs and smiles shared. I have spent 202 hours on a bus/plane, and have traveled 20,803 kilometers (12,927 miles) on a total of 25 trips (I kept a record!) and during those trips, I’ve had the opportunity to see familiar faces, meet volunteers and help further the kingdom of God here in Peru.

Looking back on this past year, I can only thank my family, friends and supporters in the States that have stood beside me in this calling. Thank you for the prayers, financial support, phone calls, and emails throughout the last year. I would not be able to do this without your help.
