I feel like I need to tell everyone a little bit about my friend Sydney. You know those people you just instantly click with? Sydney is definitely one of those people I just click with. She has been a huge blessing to me and I am so thankful that she is here while I am here. I love talking to her and hearing about what she is learning. God has used her to encourage me and to make me feel at home here in Peru. I can't even remember how we became so close but after my first week here, we were instantly close friends.

Sydney's brief bio: Sydney is a rising junior at Texas A&M. She took a year off between her sophomore and junior year to live in Peru for a year. She is studying History (like me) and wants to teach high school history and be a volleyball coach. She is very good at volleyball and has a wonderful laugh. Te Amo, Sydney!
