Sandra Jabour Harvey took the picture above of the "Mercy Babes" - - the one taking the picture is always left out.  Thanks for letting me know Sandra and this proves you were really there!  Love the picture!

Sonny's Granddaughter, Brigitte

Louis "Sonny" Logue's granddaughter, Brigitte Roberts, is in Chimala Tanzania putting her nursing and missionary skills to good use.  She has been going on these trips for the past 5-6 years. She has built houses, repaired houses and taught children songs. This is the first time serving as a surgical nurse. 

I know that he and his wife, Wanda, are so very proud of their "special" granddaughter.  Wishing her the best of luck in her nursing and missionary work.
