From Frank
My fellow brothers in Christ. I want to follow Rocky´s email with an Amen. Yes, my journey here continues and I have not been able to write due to the weather and conditions of the places I have been. I finally made it to my home town of Lorena where the entire town was in a blackout yesterday due to storms and much flooding and rain. I got up this morning and went on an 7 mile walk around this town to see all the places that are dear to my heart such as the home I lived in back in 1975, the home that my father build in 1979 before I came to the states and finally I was able to see some of my uncles and aunts this afternoon. Let me just tell you the my heart breaks for these people, my heart aches because I´m reminded in such a realistic way of how blessed we are in America. Brothers, I visited my mother's oldest brother named Juaquin who runs a little grocery tent in town. I asked for a Brazilian drink named Guarana which Rocky had learned to enjoy, and the cost was 75 cents. Brothers, I gave my uncle a 20 which is about $13 dollars and did not want the change since I felt that it would make up for the past several days worth of wages and the man walked up to me hugged me and began to weep. Let me tell you that my heart broke, and I began to weep as I realized he was weeping because I told him that God is good and that He loved him. Brothers, my heart is broken and I ask you for your continued prayers for I need them now more than ever. I will continue on my journey the rest of this week and know that God is having me plant some very important seed that I truly believe I will get to see became beautiful flowers for the Lord. Thanks again for your support, thanks for praying for Rocky and I and for Abiding in Christ with us as we share what an intimate relationship looks like to men around the world. Not sure when or if I will have a chance to write again but I thank you so much and look forward to coming home. For His Glory. Frank
