    PASTOR DAVID SMITH AND LADY LINDA SMITH SELFLESSLY SERVE THEIR 
                              NEIGHBORHOOD

  (Ms. GARCIA of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize two 
Houston-area leaders, Pastor David Smith and his wife, Lady Linda 
Smith.
  Many strong community leaders go unnoticed. They serve silently every 
day and draw very little attention to themselves, quietly doing their 
work. Yet through their service, they enrich and improve the lives of 
everyone around them.
  Pastor Smith and Lady Smith are both quiet, everyday heroes who put 
smiles on faces across the district and particularly in the Eastex/
Jensen Freeway community. Through their faith-based work, they spread 
positivity and hope to countless Houstonians.
  They are also very active in community activities and are the lead 
organizers of the Houston area's annual Jensen Jubilee Fall Festival. 
Pastor Smith is more like the mayor of the Eastex/Jensen Freeway area.
  Pastor Smith and Lady Linda Smith embody the Houston spirit of 
service, compassion, and volunteerism. I am proud they are my 
constituents, and I thank them for their selfless community service.
