Dear Grandparents,
I realize that it has been a good while since I last wrote but I hope you haven’t become too discouraged waiting for a letter. Boy I sure was pleased to hear that Ben got to be at home. No one yet has told me much about what he had to say or what he has been doing. Maybe you can help me get caught up on that. As I remember it wasn’t more than a couple weeks after he was home last time before I got home. It looks as if it will be quite different this time. I am thankful for him to get back though. The Lord sure has given me a lot to be be glad about even though it may be a good while before I get home. I am getting mail pretty regularly now, I am still safe, and have been blessed with extremely good health. Lately my work hasn’t been quite as strenous as it was a month ago. How are things coming at the school house? Time sure is flying by. Before re realize it, I guess another school year will be gone. Let’s keep praying that this mess will all be over soon. I am trusting in the Lord more every minute for my safety. It is always good to hear from you.
Love, Your Grandson, Donald
