Dear Kendra~

Thank you for your beautiful letter; thanks, too, for the prayers for Jenna and Michael Doucet and their brand new baby, Mattaq! They will be much appreciated by them (and by me)~

I am worried about the baby too (he is so tiny; he is hardly bigger than a minute, and the respirator tube nearly covers his small face; he really looks pitfiful!), but all we CAN do is pray and put little Mattaq in God's Hands and let Him be in control of the situation!

I have already called CCA of G and told them to put the Doucet family on the prayer chain; Pastor Bilkey told me that they would get right on it, and now I feel a sense of calm and peace in my soul. I know things are going to be okay, and I am very reassured.

Rebekkah and Louisa got here safe and sound, and we have already fallen in love with them! Rebekkah is a beautiful little lady, and her aunt is very sweet! You should have seen Johnny's expression when he first saw Rebekkah: it was instant joy, and they hugged and screamed with ecxitment! We took lots of pictures, and I will be sending you some when I get them developed tomorrow! :)

Tonight we will go to church, and then relax upon getting home from there. Tomorrow is our dress rehearsal in the afternoon, then tomorrow night is the first performance of the Cantata. We are all excited about it, and we are praying that it goes without a hitch.

How is the weather there? Are you still getting rained out? Here it is beautiful and warm; really lovely spring weather. The flowers and trees are popping out like nobody's business, the sun is shining brightly in a cloudless, pristine-blue sky, and there is a refreshing breeze blowing. It is absolutely delightful, and the kids aer outside, playing until I call them in a bit to get ready for church.

We will leave for church by six, and services start at seven. Tonight is a special concert by the McGruders. It should be wonderful and full of the Lord's presence; the McGruders are a very annointed singing family, and things are bound to happen wherever they go! :)

I am off work: I am off until Wednesday, and I plan on enjoying every minute with my company and my family!

I am happy that you may be adding to your family; I hope it comes to pass! It will be wonderful for Ethan to have another brother! I will be praying hard! Let me know if it is successful; I am all ears!

Well, the pizza is here, so I will go call the kids in and then get ready for the concert tonight. I will let you know how it went; stay tuned for a concert review! LOL Take care, and God bless you mightily! Love to you and the girls (and to the little baby Ethan)!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tennessee, Louie May. :D
