| Rod presents an award of a flashlight to Grayson Bartlett. The flashlight refers to Jesus' instruction to us that we are to be the salt of the Earth and the light of the world. We also recognized younger brother McCabe for running the hotwheels race. |
Gent, Cory, Christopher and others bargain for different colors of flashlights, but in general they like the flashlights as prizes. Maybe they hear the message about Royal Ambassadors being "light" in the World. | |
