I am endlessly glad that all the work of preaching has come to something and that many have been baptized. For those who have left the faith I am sorry, but the comfort to me is that some, even many, will find salvation because of God blessing our efforts.

Now I am 19 years old I am able to go to work in the factory. I still have time to read the Bible and preach. Recently I distributed exactly 1000 of the Bible Basics leaflets in the town here. May God keep you all.

I am thankful beyond words for the help I’ve been given. I am now 72 and after my illnesses this winter I still feel very weak, even though the warmer weather has come. I have to walk 3km. to the nearest road where there is any transport and 18km. to the doctor’s and 9km. to get my pension, as I can’t trust anyone else to bring it to me. I have a very old New Testament, printed in the times of the Czars, and as I write this I have just finished reading that from cover to cover. How long I will last I don’t know. But now I have the hope, the understanding of what life is all about, I am so sorry it took me so long, but my baptism was a dream come true. The fact that you took the initiative to help me practically is a great blessing which I also don’t deserve. I love you all and so dream to be able to meet more brothers and sisters.

Now the winter has past we are busy working in the fields. My family are well and it is such pleasure for me to see the children interested in reading the Bible with us each evening. They all desire to be baptized when they are older.
