I'm writing you today with a very heavy and hurting heart. I'm very sick with a chest virus which is heavily in my lungs and sinus passages. I can barely breathe from all the congestion and my sleep at night is next to none because of the coughing all night long keeps waking me up over and over. To make matters worse my elderly Dad passed away on the 1st of December and his funeral is on Thursday the 8th. I desperately want to be there to support my Mom and younger sister along with the rest of our family. In this present condition I can't pretend to go to the funeral and this has me heartbroken. Please pray the Lord would heal my body my dear brother. If possible to be there for my family and if not so that I can be there in the days after my Dad's funeral. God bless and keep you all as you faithfully labor in our Lord's service.

Your brother in Jesus Christ always,

Brother David
