The first time this text impacted my life and feelings was when I heard it mentioned by Sister Magdalena Kusserow. She was in Brazil for a series of lectures connected with the Purple Triangles Exhibitions, while I was serving at Bethel. I had the privilege of being invited to accompany her from Bethel to the airport on her return home. In the van that took us to the airport, we heard many stories about what happened in the concentration camp, the reactions to the persecution, and how the sister felt today. Among many stories, when mentioning her brother Wilhelm, the first to die at the hands of the Nazis, she commented that her mother received the news calmly and said to her other children: "We need not worry. Now our Wilhelm is wrapped in the bag of life with Jehovah." I confess that I was moved by this expression of faith in the resurrection and realized later that her mother was referring to 1 Samuel 25:29. P.S.: I loved your archaeological reference. I'm a biblical archaeology enthusiast.

This news truly broke my heart. He was such a loving and dear brother, as demonstrated by his posts here on the forum. May Jehovah be with his wife, Gertie, and with all the family and friends who knew him. Now he is "wrapped securely in the bag of life with Jehovah." - 1 Sam. 25:29.

I'm happy it's also available in Portuguese. But I'm sad because it's veeeery expensive. It's going on my wish list for the day I can afford it. The book here is around US$101.68.

Yes, my dear sister... I love this picture. 🥰

And here with the Lett couple, also in Bethel.

Another anointed couple was John and Mildred Barr. I had the privilege of meeting them while working at Bethel in Brazil.

As far as I know, she's one of the other sheep.

We announced this morning that our beloved sister Susan Lett has fallen asleep in death. She had 58 years of full-time service, serving with her husband, Steve Lett, whom she had known since she was a teenager. They served together in various forms of full-time service for 54 years: as regular pioneers, special pioneers, circuit work, and Bethel service. No matter how steadfast you are in the truth, we all need comfort to cope with the pain caused by our final enemy, Death. Brother Lett has been encouraging our worldwide family for decades. We know he will continue to work hard for us during our mourning. Now it is our turn to encourage him through prayers to our Father, "the God of all comfort."

I'm extremely touched by the new song.
