Dear My son . How are you? Thanks to God I am fine. How are you treating the loliness. Did you find any one you know? I hope you will found one. How is your mother? Have you heard from her? Robel you are my only hope. Take care of yourself. Don't worry. I can sense from your letter that you are worried. You can't change things by worrying. I hear from your sister. It is sad to see my family dispursed like this. But we all have to give priority to our safety and well being. 

I got a letter from Alemtsehay, even if it is hard to get mail from yemen. She is trying to go to Europe on a refugee resettlement program. I am hoping and praying that God will help her. I would like you two to advice and comfort each other. 

I am getting used to the situation here evenif things are going worse. They give us all kinds of names. It is such a horrible country, but it will pass. It is hard to find youngsters in town, they all are taken to the Sawa military trainning camp. Most pentecostal churches are closed, most believers are fleeing to neighboring countries because they are persecuted because of their faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

I hope your mother is fine. You are my only connecion, so please do tell me how she is doing from time to time. It is sad to see what is hapenning to our family but God is with us and he will answer our prayers.

I will await your next letter.

Your loving Father Haddis
