I get on a train in two hours for S.F. We're doing a mini mission trip with the kids in our Youth Group. I'm stoked. Please keep us in your prayers! We'll be reaching out to the community around us, loving others and sharing about the one who saved us! Please pray for open hearts and a change in our children's hearts and safety! Take care, have a GREAT week!
