Oh sister Martha!! Moses & Seb & Becka. God bless you all. I cried for you all while I was in church this morning as I had just heard from Maria. I was awake for 2 hours last night and was restless from 3-5 am (BC time) Just couldn't figure out what was going on. Something was. I love you all, Sister Mary
