- What does this testimony tell you about building and leading a team? When I told my husband I wanted to be a part of this video, he told me I didn’t have the voice for it, it hurt so much, and I shed some tears, but something inside of me wanted to do this despite of his words. It’s a dream come true to be a part of this choir, as I have never been a part of one. When I placed a marker on the Google Earth Map, I had to go with the nearest city which is about 400 miles away from where I live. As I am in the Great Alaskan Bush, satellite is my connection to the world.”
