Since March 2006 I noticed that I was losing weight without wanting to or knowing why and wasn’t digesting food well. After a couple of doctor’s visits, I left to work at a Christian camp in Texas, with instructions from the doctor to get further tests done if the medicine he gave did not work. During this time, I learned about God's faithfulness in a deeper way as He used His Word and the encouragement and prayers of friends to remind me of His love. I was spiritually strengthened, despite my physical weakness (as in 2 Cor. 4:16-17.) I returned to Indiana half way through the summer because I was continuing to lose weight and energy. These are letters I wrote to friends and family since that time.
