I can't wait to hear ALL about the missions trip, Sis.

I loved reading about you. You are always so willing to share about yourself and I still am learning so much about you.

Good answers! That's too bad about the car theft and death from it.
Sounds like you are right in the middle of what the Lord has for you.
