Sarah Harmening was a shy, quiet, 17-year-old girl with a maturity beyond her years. She had a strong faith in God and felt called by him to serve on a short-term mission trip to Botswana. On the way to the airport, her life was taken in a tragic bus crash. In this episode, Jill talks with her parents, Scott and Karen, about the events of that day, what Sarah had been journaling as she rode the bus, dealing with the publicity surrounding the incident, and what they've learned about God, grief, hope, and joy since that time.
