hmm... not quite what i expected

heeey my Kaleo family!! thanks for all yur wonderful posts updating us on your lives, i've quite enjoyed them. ok so this message might be confusing cuz it's been a horribly long day, but please bear with me.
So today I was supposed to go boarding in sunshine with my sister and her friend. We left at 4 this morning and her friend was driving. We were doing really well and were soooo close to banff, when we got in a car accident. It was crazy.. i was looking down at something, heard an "uh-oh", looked up an a milisecond later i was screaming cuz of the impact of us hitting another car. we were going around 90 clicks too... kinda fast. it's a little confusing accident to explain cuz there were 4 vehicles involved and it took us forever to agree between all of us, but yeah the point is that God kept us safe and we're alive. if you could pray for the super achyness and lack of being able to sleep for fear of crashing i would really appreciate it. Anyways, we finally got a ride with a tow-truck back to canmore and then a ride from someone in calgary back to calgary (where i got to hang out with Jay and Al at ambrose which was amazing!!), and then my rents came and got us from calgary. So it's been a 16 hour day. but praise God that we're all okay!!! woooo
Right so other than car accidents, I've been at the u of a going for elementary education this year. now that it's finalized i can tell you all too.. i got this scholarship from the uni to study in Peru for a semester!! i'm really really excited :D I'll be leaving beginning of august and coming back beginning of january. i'm really excited for this opporutnity and so curious to see why God wants me to be there.
Sooo, i think thats about it.. I love you all alot :)

There was a guy who ditched us in the treeplanting season for Peru so it must be better than planting trees. I'm stoked for you to travel and learn more language.
