AIZKRAUKLE
Thank you so much for such an interesting magazine! My prayers are with all those who have none to help them. I am blessed to have adult children, indeed recently they came and repaired my flat for me. But I know that the Government doesn't help people and so to whom can they turn if they have no family, so my prayers are with them very much. I am grateful for a package of help I received from brothers and sisters.

Here things are so hard for me, and I appreciate receiving the clothes etc. I live day to day, relying on God each morning as David said he did too in the Psalms.
Bro. Ruslan

Only recently have I come to feel that Jesus is truly my Saviour, I mean, that I have come to understand that He is an actual person who relates with me. I was raised an orphan, maybe for this reason it was hard for me to understand that really I have a true family member who has such love for me.

I get so confused when on the street going for the shopping, that I really can’t face to travel to Riga for the Bible weekend. But I want you all to know that I think so much of you and am reading with you here on my own.

I am now working away from home, with no days off, it is really hard for me. Then I return home for a few weeks. I find it very stressful to have to live like this but there is no work here where I am in the village. Now I am catching up with my reading, and am sending the next answers to Beyond Bible Basics .

PILTENE
I have some people here in need of Bible Basics and I so hope they will read it well. I don’t wish to talk about my problems. They are many. But agape love is what will be the answer for all of us in the end.

I marvel at the grace of God towards me. I still have in my body some parts of a bullet from 1945, and still I am live now, and have the hope to be for ever in God’s Kingdom. Despite all ill health, and the problem of paying for medical care now, I can say I am happy because I know the future is assured for me.

RIGA
I am now grateful to have a new bed, a very nice one, not too low as the last one was, so I can sit on it and get up more easily. I pray for you all each day, several times a day, in my bedridden situation this is all I can do and I do it with joy and thankfulness I can do something.

I am really so happy to be baptized! I treasure the memory of your visit to my home.
