Brenda Paredes returned home to Lima, Peru, March 20, 2010. During her three months with us, Brenda has served as a junior advisor for Sharon Presbyterian Youth, participating in the Sharon Presbyterian Youth Ski Trip and other Sharon Presbyterian Youth activities, spoken at a Men’s Breakfast and Sunday School classes, assisted with the children after Children’s Worship, assisted in the Sharon Church Office, served as an usher and attended Worship and Sunday School regularly. Brenda has also participated in the preliminary planning for the 2010 Mission Trip to Huanta, Peru. She has also served as a substitute teacher at the Sharon Weekday School and tutored students at Carmel Middle School and South Mecklenburg High School whose second language is English.
Brenda also traveled to New York City to visit a high school friend and to Sacramento, California, to visit her great aunt and other family members who immigrated to the United States over ten years ago.
We thank God for the time that Brenda has spent sharing her faith and culture with us. We wish her safe travels and hope that she will visit us again.

Brenda's three month visit to the U.S. went by way too fast! Brenda's love, patience and courage have proven that she is a perfect representative for the wonderful Peruvian people. Those that have met Brenda either last year in Peru or on her recent trip to the U.S. have been very fortunate. Those that will meet Brenda in Lima for the first time in July, will quickly understand and agree that we are the ones that have been blessed for knowing her.
