Teaching Lindzey

Kassi and Sis. Doane have been teaching Lindzey.  She is our dear friends Kevin and Jessi Bodell's foster daughter here in Herriman.  Virtual teaching has been such a blessing, it has provided opportunities that otherwise would not be possible.

Whatever it takes! (whether we like it or not)

“When you eagerly give your life in submission to the Lord, He takes over and everything begins to unfold, and from then on He begins to empower and change you. C. S. Lewis has a marvelous illustration of this: When I was a child I often had a toothache, and I knew that if I went to my mother she would give me something which would deaden the pain for that night and let me get sleep.
