And we had had, we were getting ready to have a woman's conference that spring.

So I agreed and she videotaped to my story and we, it was called the My Story Conference.

So 300 women heard my story on video and it's really amazing.

Mom and I, the ministry we lead now is called the Restore Ministry, but three of our main

leaders were in that audience that heard my story for the first time.

So it, when you hear someone, it's just, it's that, um, it's that empathy.

It's that, because somebody can empathize with you.

women.

Where are those abortion?

And so it's, but it's that when you connect with somebody that understands, it gives you

just that level of compassion to be, okay, I can, I can tell.
