How did SJV prepare you for what’s coming next?
SJV was a place of deep healing in the Lord’s love. We all have areas that aren’t heaven-ready, and SJV played a huge role in my life in bringing the areas of woundedness to the Divine Physician.

Favorite part of summer?
Being at the Lake with family… The Sustaceks are talkers, so there is usually never a dull moment!
