Prayer Request

Just a quick prayer request. There was a 17 year old kid who was recently shot and killed in his home in Fairfield, CT (about ten minutes away from here). His grandmother, uncle and cousins all go to my church and the two girls who are his cousins go to the school where I teach. The oldest girl Emily is currently on a missions trip in Rwanda and has no idea what's happened. They aren't telling her until she gets home on Wednesday and then the calling hours are later that afternoon. It's a lot for them to have to deal with (obviously) and their family is like family to us. I knew you would pray, so I wanted to tell you. 

On an unrelated note, there are only 27 days until the end of school. I'm not entirely sure that I'm going to make it without severely damaging one of the seniors I teach. I hope you'll all come visit me in prison.

Hey Jen- I'll be sure to pray! That poor family! :o(

I'll also be sure to visit you in prison and bake you a pie with a file in it.
