This town is very pretty! 
I wanted to check out the Ryman Theater!

The gospel that was preached and the songs and praise sung to God is an awesome beginning! 
They still record here!

We both liked that! 
We sang Amazing Grace together! It is something that I will remember for the rest of my life!
