Update June 15 @ 8:55pm Atlantic time.
For those who want to communicate directly with Sarah & Matt you can email them at
vanessen.sarah@gmail.com
Of course please understand they likely won't be able to reply at this time due to the fact that they will be without internet or at least limited access to it on their trip to and during their time in Montana. Also with all the planning and decisions there will be limited time. But rest assured when they get the time they will appreciate reading your emails.
Thank you again for all your prayers for them.
