Thank You
Dear Tom and Brethren,
I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you allowing me to give
the presentation on the work that is being done in Latin America .
The congregation was very friendly and supportive to me while I was
there. Thank you also for lunch. Sharon and I enjoyed the time
together. Along with your prayers and support I will be able to
carry out the LAM work. I will also continue to remember you in my
prayers.
Yours truly in Christ,
Dave Huffman
