<p class="p1">Pastor David,</p> <p class="p1">I have finally had a moment of down time for the first time since we spoke last and I wanted to express our gratitude for sharing our need with the church. As you probably know, God has provided a vehicle for us. It was certainly far more than either of us expected. Despite Mary's circumstances, there have been many trials on our journey that have made everything we are going through worth it. The Lord has shown us so much of His glory, given us opportunities to spread the gospel, strengthened our marriage and faith, and has been teaching me many things. We can also sense the power of prayer at work in our lives, I have seen God continually strengthen Mary as the days go by. We just wanted to thank you and the church again for all the prayers and support that have been lavished upon us.</p> <p class="p1">Grace and Peace,</p>  <p class="p1">Paul</p>
