Afternoon Chats

While we worked on organizing the baby clothes, we had the opportunity to talk with one of the volunteers. We so enjoyed her stories and wisdom. We laughed and cried together while receiving advice from this wonderful, Godly woman. We felt so blessed to have been able to spend time with her and just fellowship together.
