“Such a wonderful adventure. We loved it!”

“Henry (4) enjoyed it and learned a lot- it was interesting to discuss with him and he seemed to really understand how to empathize with Jesus on that journey. It did lead to some interesting conversations about death. He hoped that Jesus would meet some friends along the way.”
