One of the most dynamic and musically talented members of our church in Pearl City, Hawaii, is a nurse named Adele. She has been on numerous mission trips, including one to Russia. And she brought back this little doll as a gift for us. Thanks, Adele.
That church is one of the most mission-minded we have ever belonged to. Many members of the congregation had been to Fiji, Cambodia, Viet Nam, even Myanmar (Burma), to do missions work. We built orphanages and water catchment tanks and bought a building in Myanmar to house the Burmese Baptist Convention. The members refused to have air conditioning installed in the sanctuary because it would waste money that could be spent on missions. I love that church!

The air conditioning thing? That's the most real thing I've heard about a church in forever! Wow!
