Letters from members

From Mary Pace and family:

Thank you, Springdale family, for your words of support and Christian love in the passing of my dear parents. Knowing that you have prayed for us has lifted my spirit and reaffirmed my faith that God is good all the time.

From Richard and Doris Trautwein (Letter to Jason and Nick, Jamaica USA Exchange):

Dear Jason:  Doris and I were pleased to share our Church with Nick, you, and your colleagues, our home with Nick and you, and we will now share your letter with others.  Your quiet exercise of leadership and faith have enriched members of our church community, your colleagues, and Doris and I.  Your presence in our home carried Doris and I to the times when our

families were present and slept in the same rooms that  you occupied.

I have very warm though old memories of Montego  Bay, the beautiful ocean, driving up and along the crest of the mountain, and the many warm smiles of the people.  Nick has a countenance that radiates and fills the room.   I don’t know whether we will have the opportunity to return, but inmany ways Nick and you brought Jamaca to us.

I talked with Ben W. this morning.  Ben shares your like of the oatmeal cookies.  I now chuckle at the pitchfork joke we played on him. Ben will start at Davidson in two weeks.  Ben and his sister, like Nick and you, are gifted young people.

Doris and I will think of Nick and you when we return to Graeters and have Cookies and Cream ice cream.  In the meantime, Doris and I are finishing up the Peach ice cream.

Keep up your ministry.  You have enriched our lives.  You will enrich many others. You are evidence of God’s love.  Keep us informed.
