Late Breaking L Report

Here's a late in the day L update. He sent a letter from the new jail to the church with a note for me. He is well. That is the good news. And he did get some of the cards from my "peeps." He also said that he had just bought some paper and things at the old jail which apparantly he had to leave behind because he had to trade some food to get the paper, envelopes and stamp for the letter he sent to the "church family." But he wanted us to know that he was ok, that he appreciated the cards from us and from you! He also says he is praying for all of us, that it is "ok" there. He says he knows that I will find him there because I always track him down somehow. He thinks he gets out on November 7 and is already counting the days. He says he misses D, his girlfriend and is sad that he can't see her. I think there may be a way....it only involves a ride and I can do that soon. It was so good to hear from him, to have him reach out to us like this is a big thing! I am feeling pretty blessed tonight.

Responding to both posts: It's incredibly frustrating that the jail is making you start over in terms of approval. But I'm so glad you heard from L. He sounds in good spirits, considering.

What a gift to get this encouraging update from L in the midst of the beaurocratic frustrations. Affirmation that God is using you to make a difference!
