This morning we joined the second form students at Nazarene High school for their morning Chapel. We did praise and worship, a skit and games with the students. Josh gave his Testimony and Andrew did the devotion, he spoke about everyone having different abilities and there will always be people around that might be able to do it better but, our abilities are enough for God to use us in many ways.

Tonight was such a sweet, calm, and relaxing time with the ladies of the church. We did some pedicures, manicures, and massages.
