I can’t believe I’ve been home for nearly two weeks and still haven’t had a chance to send out an update on how the October trip went. In short: It was wonderful. I started out speaking at a Ladies’ Conference in Layton, Utah. What a blessing! We had a wonderful time fellowshipping around God’s Word …
This year, as part of our three month, Green Bean Project, we want to take some special time to get better acquainted with each of you and to give you a chance to become better acquainted with us. Since November is National Orphan Month, we thought it would be the perfect time to do this. …
