Hi Barbara!

Thank you for writing me again. Your letters mean so much during this lonely time in my life. I’ve been here for over 3 months now and it’s been some of the hardest times in my life. God is helping me through it though. I’m sorry little Wolfie has been under the weather. I can’t believe it costs so much and you didn’t even find out what was going on. Lol. I hope you’re having a fun time with your friend while she stays with you. That’s awesome you’ve known each other since college. And if we’ll be approves then I approved too lol

I grew up around wiener dogs. Our family dog was named Emma and since all of the siblings ( I have four younger sisters) would feed her all the time she got really chunky lol. Dogs are the best. My cellie (cellmate) told me how close you really are, LOL. That’s awesome. They blocked the windows so I can’t see outside much but I know right now I’m facing the “PAC Highway” side. We get moved around so much! Though I don’t know which way is up or down.

I appreciate the prayers when you drive by. I need them. It’s dangerous in here. Also, I love books! I’m reading a lot lately. I just finished a book that made me cry my eyeballs out. It’s called A thousand splendid suns. I highly recommend it. In fact I’m so confident that you’re going to read it, I’m including a piece of art I did because of that book. But don’t open it till you’ve read the book okay? What are your favorite books? I’m down to read one of your favorites too.

I’m going through the Bible cover to cover and I’m really happy because it’s making lots of sense to me now as I read it. I just missed the sun. Sun rises. Sunsets. It’s hard not being able to go outside. Seems like cruel and usual punishment. What are your favorite restaurants around here? I’m a big foodie and I can’t wait to eat a good meal again. Tell your friend hi and wolfie. I hope your legs feel better.

This is my favorite scripture from my reading this morning.

“Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the Deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still”.

Exodus 14: 13-14
