Visiting Families

by Katrina Hulme | March 28, 2025 1:00 AM

We spent time visiting more families in the afternoon. At one home, the person we were looking for wasn't home but her sister was. We spent time with her sister and we're all touched by the visit. It was another reminder that God's plans are better than our own.
