Dear Carolina and family, My heart goes out to your family, knowing that each day we are that much closer to paradise. Richard is my spiritual brother, but we , also, love to make people look good with a good hair cut. My brother in Rockport never paid for a hair cut. I grew up cutting his hair and everyone else´s . Having served in Venezuela, I hope to remember my Spanish by visiting in your area. May all of you continue to be comforted with our bright hope for the future. Warm
Christian Love, Sandy Wirfs
