Jimmy Carter Presidential Library Georgia November 2023
Just a few days before the passing of Rosalynn Carter, we stopped by to visit the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library in Atlanta. In the video, I also talk a little about the time we were able to attend church with the Carters. Jimmy and Rosalynn have been very accessible, giving and selfless.
