Oh Vonnie, that was so awesome listening to the song as they sang. I truly felt the spirit and cried through it all. You and Mark are so amazing. I physically could not do what you are doing and I know miracles happen as I watch what the Lord helps us do. I’m so glad that mandi got to go there and see you. Hugs from our children gives us strength. There is no greater joy than doing the Lords work. Thank you so much for sharing the pictures and video. I love you, Donna Brimhall
