"The idea of having the "Tour of the Fireflies" involved a lot of "questioning and arguing with God," as she (Katti) recalls. "At that time I was concerned with our quality of air. More than that, this happened when I was telling God that I was not happy with Him because things are not getting better in this country. After saying that, not long after, this idea came to my mind and it wouldn't go away. I felt that it was something that needed to be done. I was also wondering if this is something He wanted me to do that I would see that He is at work."
