Brandon and Sharlene Street
Brandon and Sharlene are just good people to the core. When we met, they were one stage in life ahead of me, and I just watched them and tried to learn as much as I could from the way they treated each other, served and worked as a team to have a joyful life. I also love hearing them sing together, how fun to share a talent and share it with others!
