Hello beautiful people!
I wanted to let you all know that I am now home! I made it home safely and in time to spend the Holidays with my family in Texas. I have many updates for y’all – recaps of our last three countries, including some videos, and stories from the Race.
I can not thank each of you enough for the prayers, encouragement, financial support, and sacrifices made to make this past year of overseas missions possible. I can tell you that after this year spent in the communities of Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Romania, Albania, South Africa, and Lesotho, I am more passionate about the simple Gospel, the global church, and God’s word. I’m excited to run with these deeper passions heading back into America. I am also excited about fewer to no bugs in my bed, healthy and varied foods, my own room, Tex-Mex, and wifi that works – better yet, not needing wifi at all to send full updates. Hallelujah, God is good.
I am finishing up videos for each of the last countries and ministries we were a part of, so in the coming weeks you will get updates of the final day-in-the-life episodes from me on the World Race 🙂 I’ve received feedback that the videos are helpful for seeing and understanding each ministry placement and the impact we get to be a part of – by “we” that also means YOU! I’m so happy they’re helpful!
Love y’all!
Your girl,
Sierra 🙂
P.S. I’m not a crier, yet I teared up when walking through U.S. customs and getting to go in the line labeled “U.S. Citizens”. It felt like a blanket of comfort and protection, and hearing English spoken all around was a nice, distant yet familiar, feeling. I’m thankful to live here!
Welcome back, Sierra! Such an incredible and awesome adventure you had – really, no words to adequately describe what you have done. Thank you for sharing the images and stories of what you were witnessing and doing. To help others is the most positive thing one can do and this experience will no doubt help you tremendously in your future life.
Thank you,
Mike
Hey sweetie! I am so glad you are home and it was great seeing you at our family gathering! I hope you can find a great church to get involved in, so that your journey can be shared with others who are interested in pursuing a deeper relationship with the Lord! Love and hugs, Lisa
