So Good To Hear Your Voice

Hello everyone!

Well, mom, Brit, and Grandad are in LA visiting dad this weekend. They are lucky because a holiday falls on Monday so they get to stay for three days instead of two. Of course, I have to work, so regretably I couldn't go this time. However, I will let you know how the trip went when they get home.
But since they are there dad has been able to call me on the phone for the past two nights! It is so good to hear his voice. He sounds okay. Dad is finding ways to see God and in these circumstances, that is more than we can ask. It is still very hard for him since Esteban has left but we have not forgotten him in our prayers. In the begining he was an answered prayer, we are still praying for him where ever he may be. We also have gotten some (seemingly) good news. We are always praying God finds a way to get dad out early and we don't want to get our hopes up to high or prevent the Lord from doing something wonderful but be praying that this good news does not leave us high and dry. Our God is an awesome God who has the power to change any situation, we do not doubt that. We know that God has His reasons and we have already seen a few. The prision has already had a revival a few weeks ago which ended with 100 prisioners becoming part of the Christian family! So we know that dad has not left in vain, yet we still have a hole in our hearts. So please,

Keep Jeff Pierson in Your Prayers!!

We need him home. And according to God's word (Mark 10:9 What God has joined together, let no man seperate) our family should be together. Please keep praying and thank you so much for the prayers already being prayed! It means more than you know!

Love,

Shekinah

Dad's Day 3

Hello everyone!


Well, the weekend of May 15-16 me, mom, Brit, and Gran dad went to see dad. The first day was very emotional for him, as well as, us because his good friend and cell mate, Esteban, was moved. Now, I know I've told you all a little bit about Esteban, but he was dad's closest friend and helper there. Having him leave has been very, very hard on dad. The only thing that made this a little easier for all of us was knowing that dad had Esteban there with him. So we have all been really upset over this. We don't understand why God would take Esteban and we don't know where he was moved, but dad thinks that Esteban might have been sent home. He had a 18 year sentence and was in his 9th year, so if he did get sent home, it would be a miracle. Even though we are all upset over his leaving, please be praying that God let him go home. We know he will do great things for God. Aside from the heart tear we had, it was a wonderful visit. Anytime we get to see dad and he gets to see us, it is a wonderful thing. Dad says that it makes time go by faster when he has visitors. So don't forget to send in your visitation form and go and see him when you get a chance. He misses everyone very much.
I know that for most everyone, this thing with dad is just a bad feeling or thought that crosses your mind every now and then, and we all understand that no one is as impacted by this as us, but every time he does cross your mind, please send up a prayer for him to come home soon. We can't endure this for 5 years. We need dad back. The smallest prayers are heard, so please,

Keep Jeff Pierson in your prayers!

Love,

Shekinah
