A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Hey there...just completed our 2nd day at the Children's Hospital and overall it was a good day.  It continues to be a challenging part of our mission, but like the 'Little Engine that Could,' we keep on chugging along.

I thought I would just post some photos from this past week and then will write more about our dinner last night + karaoke and work experiences today over this weekend.  Enjoy!!

You can wire money and get gas...all at the same time!
