Come Walk With Me: Ponce
By: Gabriela Yareliz We visited the Castillo Serralles, the plaza, and we strolled around as the sun was setting. The sky turned a beautiful, bright cobalt blue.

Tuesday Badinage: November 29, 2016

Miracles

Holiday Spirit
By: Gabriela Yareliz So, this weekend was great. Sabbath was lovely, and then after church we went out with some families from the church, ate, and walked around the festival of lights display at the North Florida Regional Hospital. It was magical. Lots of lights and sparkly things- music and young people hand-in-hand having someContinue reading “Holiday Spirit”
