Sarah Carroll: Anthropomorphism, Armadillo Llamas, and Evil Baby Cria

Mercy: Welcome back everyone! I am so excited to have you here for our next interview: Sarah Carroll! 

Sarah: Hi everyone! 

Mercy: Alright, age, grade, and where you live. 

Sarah: I’m 17, a senior, and I live in Uganda. 

Mercy: Nice, do you have any siblings? 

Sarah: Yeah, I have three older siblings. Hannah, Elizabeth, and Josh.

Mercy: Cool. Ok, what TPS classes are you taking this year? 

Sarah: Just one, Eastern Kingdoms. 

Fred: Ooo, sounds interesting. 

Sarah: Hey Fred. 

Mercy: Oh, so is it now just normal for an anthropomorphic llama to start talking to you in an interview? 

Sarah: I mean, these are your articles so yes kind of. 

Mercy: Well, I guess that’s fair. Ok, what’s a fun fact about you? 

Sarah: I’ve been on over 30 plane trips. 

Mercy: Wow, that’s a lot. 

Fred: Why do you keep stealing my line? 

Mercy: Ok one it wasn’t the right question, and two it’s my articles I’m not stealing anything. 

Fred: Um, excuse me. I’ve been in these articles as much as you have. 

Mercy: Not really but ok. 

Sarah: Wait but didn’t you create-

Mercy: Ok! Moving on, Sarah, if you could sum up yourself in three words what would they be? 

Sarah: Independent, cheerful, and creative. 

Mercy: Nice! What are some of your talents? 

Sarah: Hm, I’d say Chinese, singing, and last-minute baking. 

Mercy: I do last minute baking too. What about some of your hobbies? 

Fred: Ok look, I know you’re hiding something. 

Esmerelda Enchilada Armadillo Frederickson: Fred! I need your help. The baby won’t sleep. 

Mercy: Ok hold up, there’s a baby!?

Esmerelda Enchilada Armadillo Frederickson: Oh, hi Mercy. And who is this lovely interviewee? 

Sarah: Hi, I’m Sarah Carroll. 

Esmerelda Enchilada Armadillo Frederickson: Oh, I love your name. Very pretty. 

Sarah: Thank you. I like her. 

Mercy, muttering: Maybe you should replace your husband in my articles. 

Fred: Excuse me. Hurtful. 

Esmerelda Enchilada Armadillo Frederickson: Well, we can figure that out later, Fred, I need your help. 

Mercy: Oh, yes, the baby. We have to see this. Sarah? How about we finish the article on the way. 

Sarah: I’d love to. 

Mercy: Great. Ok so, what are some of your hobbies? 

Sarah: Baking, painting, singing, piano, and reading. 

Mercy: Nice. If money was no object, what would you do all day? 

Sarah: I’d fly to China and meet up with friends. 

Mercy: Sounds fun. Can you list some of your favorites? 

Sarah: Glimpses of Truth, rice, curry, and worship and folk indie music. 

Esmerelda Enchilada Armadillo Frederickson: Oh, I love that kind of music. Mind if I ask a few questions? 

Mercy: Go right ahead. 

Esmerelda Enchilada Armadillo Frederickson: Great, who’s someone you want to be like and why.  

Sarah: My dad, he knows a lot of scripture, very passionate, loves people, faithful to God, and really rooted in prayer. 

Esmerelda Enchilada Armadillo Frederickson: Sounds like a great guy. Speaking of scripture, what’s your favorite Bible verse? 

Sarah: Galatians 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” 

Esmerelda Enchilada Armadillo Frederickson: Beautiful verse. Anything else you want to say to the readers? 

Sarah: Something my brother told me once “Don’t waste a single day on yourself because only what’s done for Christ will last”. Oh, and come to Fotia! 

Mercy: Well, thanks for coming, Sarah. 

Esmerelda Enchilada Armadillo Frederickson: Oh, we’re here. Wait, Fred…where’s the baby? 

Fred: How would I know, I was gone. 

Esmerelda Enchilada Armadillo Frederickson: He was right here. 

Mercy looking at Sarah: Ok, I think that’s our cue to go. 

Esmerelda Enchilada Armadillo Frederickson: No, you have to help us find him. This child is not an ordinary cria. He’s a llama super villain. 

Mercy, Sarah, and Fred together: WHAT!?
