Hey guys:) well today has been busy I think. I am going to be busy tonight as I have loads of letters to write! I have to write to about 5 of my guys.
When I was writing Steven's letter last night I had realized something as I started to write a bit down. There's a little story and a bit of a creepy moment for me lol.
You see Steven is a practicing Mormon. He hasn't Been baptized yet but hopes to be whenever he shal be released. Anyway I come from a Mormon raised family lol, pretty much when I was younger I had always been placed in and out of foster care because well, the mother in Canada couldn't handle me I was always the one the middle child to be tossed away constantly. At one point the mother had told me that I was the black sheep in the family...anyway my aunt holly was pretty much my best friend I had always gone to her. A second mother to me, anyways when I was placed in crisis nursery she had given me this card or a picture of a hump back what jumping out of the water and on the back of the card she wrote a passage from the scriptures.
Anyway I got this card from Steven. Pretty much the same picture and on the back he typed out a passage from the scriptures that says:
"but ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and they shall tell thee: or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the lord hath wrongth this? In whose hand is the soul of every living thing and the breath of all mankind. Job 12:7-10"
I found it a bit weird and freaky how that had happened. He knows I dont believe much in the church anymore that I have my own beliefs and he respects that. As well as I respect his beliefs. I find it amazing how the people the men and women behind the walls can seek faith and hope and prayer in such confined spaces. The guys I talk to the guys I write to all share different beliefs....but yet even though some don't believe in that kind of stuff they still have that hope and belief and faith in them...
Anyway I've written Steven a letter I've written Matthew a letter I gotta write Guillermo a letter as not heard back from him yet! I have to print out some of my pictures of England that I've taken because a lot of them are asking to see lol.
So that's it lol lots of letters to write pictures to print lol envelopes to write on lol .. by the time I get them sent off I will have a few more letters to write....I spend most of my nights writing letters to the point I fall asleep writing them! I do enjoy it:)
Anyway that's it for now. Hope you guys enjoy the beauty of the card that Steven has made for me! I actually thought it was a penguin lol until Scott says "what is that? Is that a whale? Very impressive!" Lol then me "ooooh that's what it is lol" but I love it. What do u guys think?
Until next time.
