I also learned that you can use seeds To teach about the Scriptures and our responsibility towards our fellow human beings

  14. What a cool city! • The cleanest streets! • You can walk almost everywhere thru covered bridges… • The museums are awesome! • The Cathedral is breathtaking! • You can ride a bike, take a tour on a Segway, ride a gondola or a paddleboat… • (But be careful… you may be run over by a bike!) Thank You Indianapolis!
