Teams, teams and visitors

At this time of the year I think of Dottie´s father and his leading me to Jesus 63 years ago. He never came to Casa and saw what God had done through him when he led me to Jesus. I wonder if he can see from heaven at…

Michele is her helper

Michele helping with Dottie´s therapy. Julieta brought Michelle a physical therapist shirt so Michelle is now helping with Dottie´s therapy. Part of the therapy is tossing a huge ball back and forth so it is a legitimate therapy action and Michelle feels like she is really helping her…
