Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God;a believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going. May God bless and keep your family. May Gods presence surround you and comfort your heart. P.s John truly you are one of the most impressive young men I've had the pleasure of meeting. Gods light shines bright within you. Your grandfather would be proud
