I am doing well at Lake Area at the moment, although I do not like the schedule that I have been given this semester. If all goes well, I plan on getting an internship and possibly finding a place where I’ll be working. I plan on graduating this semester since if I can’t find an internship, Lake Area will give me a project to do that will make up for it. I just want to thank those who have been praying for me and those who have been sending me letters throughout my time at Lake Area. It’s uplifting to know that someone is thinking of you even during these difficult times, and I’ve been thanking God for having a caring church family. ~Randy Watch Give X X Watch https://boxcast.tv/view/born-of-the-spirit---john-36-276132 X X Go to our giving website Note: You will be taken to another browser tab to give online.
