Cristin and I with our cokes. It's a little humid, but the weather is amazing. Thanks Jesus!

I am so blessed to be here and learn from so many wise women and men. God is already preparing me to learn something extraordinary. I am so excited to share with you all what that will be. Tomorrow is church and then our conference for the local women of Kakira starts :)
