My Story...

Hello! Thanks for visiting my blog. I will be spending the next two years in the Dominican Republic and am excited to use this space to share news with you. God has placed a calling on my heart to venture out and teach in the mountains of the Dominican Republic at Doulos Discovery School. I will also be working with an outreach ministry, called Young Life. Please take some time to check out the links for both of these organizations. Thank you so much for partnering with me on this adventure!

Hannah Byker!

Hey there friends!

One year later...presenting Hannah Byker!
Many of you embarked on the journey of prayer and raising finances for Hannah one year ago, so I wanted to share an update with you.  Joe, Christen, and Hannah now live in the States; however, they were here for a visit in March and it was so great to spend time with them.  Hannah is a little roly-poly ball of joy, and Joe and Christen are doing well also.  It's amazing to think back to one year ago and all the people that came together that made it possible for Hannah to get the care that she needed.  God is good.

In other news, I also wanted to share with you that this will be my last school year with Doulos and YL in the DR.  I feel led to move back to the States this summer, although I am not sure where yet.  You can pray with me during this transition.  I am so thankful for my time here and many emotions fill my heart everyday - sadness to leave friends that have become family and excitement to return to family and friends in the States are just two of the many conflicting emotions I feel.  It is very hard to think of not seeing my elementary students and the YL high schoolers next year...  but I know that God is leading and when He reveals what's next, I look forward to sharing that with you!  Thank you for your support over these past four years - when we started this journey together it was only supposed to be two! :)  

That's the quick update for now.  I will be posting more soon as there is a lot to share!
Love, Sara
