Mission Year Update for January 2

Missing the Bus [0]

Usually missing the bus is an unfortunate occurrence that only frustrates and inconveniences me, but this last Saturday was different.

Merritt and I were walking to the bus stop to go to Celestial Fine Arts Ministries on Saturday about 8:30am. Leaving the house …

What if we told the truth? [1]
