| 0:00.0 | You guys, today I get to introduce you to my favorite childhood babysitter. I had a few, |
| 0:05.1 | but Miss Sarah was one of my favorites. And we would, she was our overnight babysitter. So whenever |
| 0:12.3 | my parents went away for five or six days or, yeah, probably less than that, seemed like forever, |
| 0:17.0 | it's probably like one or two nights, we would lay down, sometimes we would go out like |
| 0:22.0 | under the stars and we would get sleeping bags and we'd talk about our crushes. And I have vivid memories |
| 0:28.8 | of talking about Elisha to Sarah Jansen. And I remember her here saying, well, Katie, he's just |

| 1:14.9 | and then see her in this role that's very much like I say in the interview in Amy Carmichael |
| 1:20.9 | role. |
| 1:21.5 | I feel like she's just doing what Amy Carmichael did in India and Uganda. |
| 1:25.4 | It's powerful. |
| 1:26.9 | The interview, you guys, because of |
| 1:29.5 | internet issues, lag time, stuff going on. We tried to edit this as best as we can, but it isn't |
