(the contagious part being christ of course.) <br /><br />this is my hope for our team. im excited to go on this adventure with each one of you! lets stay connected this last month before departure! i think it is vital in our mission in god's kingdom. :)<br />(this is where facebook, email, and cell phones come in handy!) haha. im sooo excited. <br /><br />-bethBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17329774591315165188noreply@blogger.com
