Hello-

I can't believe how fast this week is going. Today was another event packed day. We started out by visiting St. Vincent De Paul's. It was a very moving experience. We were greeted by a lot of hugs. So often times we think of giving to organizations such as St. Vincents, when really they give so much more to us. I was able to read to some of the children and was amazed at how special these young children are. We all split up into different rooms with different aged children. My sister queens were Illinois and Tenn. Tennessee sprinked some fairy dust and truly made a special impression. Illinois also was able to captivate. I think everyone was touched by this experience. What a blessing each one of these children are. THANK YOU LESTER FOR ALL THE SAFE RIDES! (Our bus driver)

Tonight Andy and I took in Cirque Shangai after rehearsal. He has been so wonderful through it all and tonight was our free night.

I am off to bed in preparation of tomorrow's interview!!!!! Wish me luck!

God bless-

Deanna & Andy
