For sure, I agree about her goals and her being a wonderful girl, but I disagree about the Gideons. I got into trouble once by asking for New Testaments to give away at Christmas time and wow...I got a phone call from the head hauncho here.. who had gotten in trouble from headquarters because they aren't supposed to give multiple Bibles to someone to give away--THEY are supposed to give them away personally and not give them to others who then give them away. ??
So, unless they can work with a person who is a little less "letter of the law" than that Gideon, she won't get far by contacting them.
