Hi Nancy and Chad! I have been praying! So good to hear you are well arrived. I was talking with someone recently and someone asked them, "How many people did you lead to the Lord?" (they are in an addiction recovery ministry). He told me he answers, "Every one of them!" because he knows that the Holy Spirit is there with him in every interaction he has with a person. So my friends, enjoy your ministry with Jesus at your side!
Love
Dianne
