I'll be spending a year in Peru. This is where you can find out how I am doing.

These are the beautiful women that I am privileged to serve with in Peru. I have only known them most of them for about two months but I know that they are all going to leave a mark on my life. I would like to introduce you to them.
(From Left to Right)
First there is Sara Joy. She is from San Antonio and she went to A&M but we didn’t really know each other until we move to South America. She is the oldest intern and my roommate. She has a lot of experience in life after college. I like to ask her for advice. She can talk to anyone and is up for anything. There are many days I wish I was her. I am so glad she is down here

Next to her is Raven . Raven is from Jackson Mississippi and graduated from Belhaven. She wants to be a psychologist. She is quiet and a hard worker. She is always working on lesson plans. She also has great one-liners that are so funny I want to pee my pants. I am so glad she is down here.

Next is Annie. Annie is from Dallas and she graduated from Texas A&M. We were roommates in college and were pretty good friends before Peru but now I think that we will be even closer. Annie is one of the friendliest people I know. She will do anything for anyone. She is very compassionate and seems to care deeply for people’s situations. I am so glad that she is down.

Next is Me.

Next is Allie. Allie is from Florida but was going to school at Belhaven in Mississippi. Allie wants to be a teacher. She is the youngest intern but definitely not the most immature. She says that she is a big kid and in way that’s true but she is also serious and wise. She loves to give hugs and sometimes she gives me hugs when I don’t want them. I am so glad she does that. I am also glad she is down here.

Last is Amanda. She is from every where. Her father was in the military. I think she says that she is from Idaho. She graduated from William and Mary and is very smart. Amanda is going to go to law school. I love talking to Amanda because I feel like she really listens to me even when I am rambling. She also laughs a lot which makes me laugh a lot which is good for my heart. I am so glad that she is down here.

Dear Erin,
I am so glad you have a group of women that each have wonderful qualities to grow you this year.

I need to talk to Allie a minute here...bring her in...Allie, please give Erin a hug for me. Maybe one more. Thanks!

I am thankful for this year in your life. It is an amazing time to see God as you never have before and for him to grow you in ways unique to being outside the U.S. Buckle your seatbelt because the next month or two are going to be awesome.

Hey Erin! I have been meaning to tell you something for awhile now and have been a dork and not said it sooner. I just wanted to thank you for being such a great friend to Hannah! She really adores you a lot and it makes me happy to know she has someone like you who has sharpened her, comforted her, had fun with her, and shared your life with her. You definitely don't get enough "props" for who God has made you to be Erin.
