When asked what our team name should be, and after they asked what one of my favorite bible verses was, the said "The Shiners!!!" based off of Matthew 5:16 "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

Almost every week, we would go into town to the tailor, where we could have custom clothes made. There were two little ones who Gwen would play with while everyone had clothes made. They were so precious and sweet and LOVED her.

On the last day of our cohort meeting, we played a game where we all sang a song and then had to call everyone in the middle to dance. Some of the girls loved it, others hated it. They love to shake what they got!!!
