Dearest friends,

Where do we begin to say thank you for all your prayers, cards, concerns, and telephone calls during these long weeks of fear for our daughter’s safety during her time overseas? The power of prayer can never be underestimated! She and her friend for life (also named Joelle) are home safe due to the prayers of many people.

Thanks so very much for the visits, food, flowers, friendship, and support throughout the many hospital stays I have put us all through these last few months. The most recent fall has set me back a little further than I would like, but with your prayers and continued help I will persevere! Your smiles and words of encouragement help me get through the each day.

Please continue to keep our family in your prayers, as they told me as I left the hospital that it can take up to two years for a normal person to heal with this kind of wound, and normal I am not. I have a condition that makes healing difficult, so that statement is a fact, although my husband would laugh and cry at the same time while making the same statement!

Yours in Christ,
The Leiferman Family
