This couple came over 9 hours by train to attend the conference!!! They had a daughter who was 32 years old and had Down Syndrome!! They asked to speak and were highly motivating to all! Imagine having a daughter with Down Syndrome when the country was communist! Imagine not knowing what was wrong with her, and treating her like your other children! And imagine this, she learned to speak and read and write, and that was against all odds back then! Imagine finally meeeting with professionals and other parents and getting to tell your story! This couple was so thankful to God for the opportunity to encourage other families and for their special daughter that they sang a song of praise! Imagine that!!It was hard to keep back the tears and I found myself singing along with the group in Russian praising the Lord! At a conference...
ohh God bless them!!
