I'm looking forward to seeing how to get clients! And by the way, I didn't even catch the part about your mission trip! But after reading all the comments about it, I had to smile. Maybe that's a sign you need to take another trip! :-) Love you!Jamie Britthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01137889974210281622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-88061239669464246652012-08-28T13:23:12.949-04:002012-08-28T13:23:12.949-04:00Interesting!
