All here is as before. I am too weak to do much work in the fields now, I spend a lot of time reading our publications and also the Bible, and I suppose this has strengthened me spiritually, even if materially things are very difficult.

I wanted just to say thanks once more for the care that Christadelphians show to people. I see that our efforts bring smiles back to their faces and I think - it is essential that there are those who can give hope for those who are in desperate positions in these hard times. I myself also, of course, can not be proud of my luck, but I know that there are people in much worse situations, in terms of health and other things. So I just wanted to remind you, among many other reminders that you probably receive, that your work is vitally needed for lots of people. Maybe you are the only person in somebody's life that lets him/her see, that there is some justice/kindness left in this cruel world. But they never say it directly.

I beg to God patience, strength, courage, power, and energy for the work of working for the brothers in the refugee camp here. Love in Jesus,

I think the planned music day when brother John visits is a great idea . I could take my violin to the Bible School.
