NEWS FROM BROTHERS & SISTERS
In June, "recommendation for pardon" documents were completed for those expected to be pardoned. I was left out. I was disappointed, and somewhat depressed for a few days, but I bounced back quickly, thanks to God.
my brethren and sisters in the truth then petitioned our country's President, asking him to pardon me. That petition is still pending.
August 31st was Independence Day, but up to now only one inmate has been pardoned: he was aged 84 years, and died from cancer shortly after he was pardoned.
In September the minister of Justice was fired for an unrelated wrongdoing.
I thank God for keeping me strong throughout all of this, and I feel confident that He will make the petition from the Brethren successful. Please pray for me.
I have `retired' from teaching,(in the prison) because I had expected to be, and still expect to be pardoned in the not-too- distant future, God willing. However, I still manage the school's stores and related duties, which keep me busy for most of the day.
You are in my prayers every day; I wish you all the best, and God bless.
