"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away" (Revelation 21:4)
I saw my husband today for a little bit. No, I was not able to deliver a mattress to him...maybe tomorrow, I hope...
I am staying in Cd. Obregón tonight. My nephew Héctor that goes to school here rents a house with other students. All of them went home for the weekend so I am here by myself.
I had trouble receiving e-mails yesterday, but Roshon came to the rescue again and this morning was able to restore the system. She printed all the letters you all wrote for me to bring to Dan. I just read them all before starting this letter. I cried till no more tears came...and then some more.
My whole being cries out for my beloved. Oh! How immensely I/we miss him! Roshon was saying, 'Lord, if you want dad in prison ministry, that's okay, just allow us to have him at night time.' But then I was reminded, and told her, of the Scripture that says how our Lord 'made himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men,' just to relate to us humans. So I guess he wants my husband to be like one of the prisoners because He wants Dan to identify with them. I am okay with that, I just hope that it won't be for a long time...
While visiting with Dan today a tall prisoner came to see a lady that was waiting to talk to him. Dan said hi to him and called the lady by her name, (so he thought). This guy, Dan told me, accepted Christ yesterday with him. But the lady that came to see him was not his wife like Dan thought. Anyway, Dan told him right away that it was wrong for him to be seeing someone else that wasn't his wife.
We are both anxiously waiting for tomorrow when we can spend a few hours together. Saturdays and Sundays we can visit him from 8AM-1PM. That is why I stayed here tonight. Roshon and her children will come on Sunday. Only wife, children, parents, grandparents and grandchildren are allowed those two days. Monday, Wednesday & Friday friends and other relatives can come and have their 5 minutes with him.
I am so glad we will get to be with him that time, but of course it will seem like such little time. But for now, that'll have to do...Tomorrow, Lord willing, I will have something to write from him to you...
I want to answer every letter I didn't get to answer yesterday, but I don't know if I will be able to. I continue to be absolutely amazed with such awesome letters you guys write. God knew I needed to read them tonight to calm my anxiety and the deep sorrow that overcame me. Delia, me encantó la canción que mandaste.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND AWESOME SUPPORT!!!
Ana & Roshon
