Leaving on Jet Plane...on Friday!!

Hey all!

I think that this going to be the best way to stay connected while I am gone...to NEPAL!!

To many of you..this is news..sorry about my lack of communication!

I am leaving on Friday for seven weeks on a mission trip and I will be gone until August.
I am going with a mission organization known as Royal Servants. Due to age I am technically staff and get to mentor highschool girls this summer while we are over seas.

The first two weeks are training camp where we learn all about the countries (there are several other teams going to other countries), learn our routines for street evangelism (I am on dance team I think..haha!), and connect as a team before we leave. We will have some amazing time to connect with God and grow together..I am super excited for that!

Once we get to Nepal, we will be based in the city of Kathmandu and we will travel to several different villages and love on kids in schools and orphanages, as well as connect with their communities. We will be staying in the country of Nepal for a total of 5 weeks!

God really placed this on my heart for this summer. I have been wanting to do missions for years and just never thought is was a good time or I did not want to put in all the effort it required. Then I began feeling that these years of my life is the best time to start and this mission trip works with youth and children...two of my favorite things..win win!! I also get to go with one of my closest friends Larisa Warren and I am so excited to share this experience with her!

I will do my best to update with pictures and talking about things that I have seen and felt during this trip!

I am so excited and am so happy to include you all with me!

In Him,

Sarah Higley
