Venezuelen Flags

Laquan and Jerimiah

At the Concert, we were given Venezuelen flags. The kids looked at me very seriously and asked: What about the American Flag?

The Nursing Home Visit with Cire

We went to the nursing home and it was the highlight of my day. There weren’t too many people who come into the room to hear us sing and read scripture, but with those who were there, we had a grand time! I think they enjoyed Cire the most. She was the youngest one in the room and full of energy and songs of Encouragement. Every song we taught her in the Children’s Choir she sung it there in joy. Everytime she opened her mouth and tapped her foot, she put a huge smile on their faces.
