Greetings from Saint Louis this 20th of September, 2006. In the beginning of this school year, I want to exhort and encourage all of you who are students to persevere and work hard in your studies. It is a privilege and a blessing for myself, family and friends to bring our modest contributions into your lives and particularly your education. We pray that God protects your lives and gives you the necessary grace for this school year. I pray that you take serious your studies and give the very best you can. Know that you have friends, brothers and sisters, who are praying for you and who are ready to sacrifice in order to help you. Give then, in return for this scholarship, a good work through the end of the school year. For this will encourage all those that are supporting you. We love you and are praying for you. Remember, God loves you. May the God of all grace strengthen you and bless you in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
