Notes
Nursing major, BYU. Artist statement: "While serving my mission in Mongolia, I noticed an absence of art depicting Jesus Christ with Mongolian children. Each day I bore testimony of the love that Christ has for them, so I took it upon myself to display that. In this piece, Christ walks hand in hand with a Mongolian child wearing his countries traditional clothes. The majority of Mongolians do not know Christ. But I have never been more certain that Christ knows them. Loves them. Cries with them. Walks hand in hand with them. Always."
