AJ's Visit

This past weekend Adaryll (AJ) came back home to Indiana for a performance at Zionsville Fellowship. AJ is part of a trio of talented musicians that are traveling to Europe this spring to perform and share Christ with others through their music.



On Sunday, Trader's Point was treated to a special surprise. AJ opened up service with his amazing saxophone skills. I have been trying to upload the video but have not had any luck. I'll keep trying though.

Also, this past Saturday, I volunteered at the Tissue Bank at the IU Simon Cancer Center which is teamed up with the Susan G. Komen Foundation. This event was a major success. There were 82 donors and twice as many volunteers! Can you believe it? One volunteer for every two donors! Even better, the grants director came in from Dallas and was blown away by how smoothly everything ran, the kindness of everyone and the success of the event. For me, I had been looking forward to this all week. Working in a clinical setting again made me so happy, especially after a terrible day at work on Friday. It was so nice to be around so many amazing people dedicating their time and talent to the cause of eradicating breast cancer.

How sweet to see Adaryll and enjoy a great experience with the Tissue Bank. Did you get another t-shirt or run into any legal problems trying to consent people when you weren't a qualified consenter? Okay, perhaps that was just my problem.
