Shalom all,

We are in our last week here in PA (YHWH's desire) and I must confess that my feelings are changing. For this last stretch I have been telling many how joyful I will be to leave this area. We have witnessed to so many, and yet sadly witness so much wickedness here. Well, this last week, I am just overwhelmed. People we didn't even realize who's life we touched, and many many others are coming to the door, thanking us, and telling us how much they will miss us. One man, an insurance agent, came in this morning, and began to cry as he spoke out the Aaronic blessing over us. People are dropping of juices, foods to take on the trip, toys and books for travel for the children, but more important than any "goods" is what they say about having us here. Yes we've been persecuted, but that too is a blessing! Just when we were wondering if it had made any difference, all the sharing, all the testifying, all the praying, its as though YHWH is showing us, that many seeds were planted. I am still amazed at all those I least expected, coming to hug on us, to bless us, and thank us for all we've been here. I wish to give YHWH all the praise and glory, for it is His light they see within us. HalleluYAH! May those seeds be watered and may YHWH grant the increase! I encourage you all, that eveb uf like me, you may feel that you have no impact as a witness for/of YHWH...try leave! I am even thankful for all the kleenex I'm going through.

Shalom and Ahavah to all,
Tamar
