B

B

Sarah EdmondsonHOST

B
8:48Brooke DeanneGUEST
I was third generation, so my parents were born in as well, and that's really all we knew.
B
8:55Brooke DeanneGUEST
So, you know, and when your parents come to you and they say, "You know, this is the truth.
B
9:00Brooke DeanneGUEST
This is the only way to your salvation," as a, a child, you don't question that.
