A Remarkable Spring Day

Monday, March 26 - This day was a remarkable day for me, one that I will never forget. My name is Nerissa, along with other women like my self who are a part of the Women to Women program we went to the State House for a field trip. It was very exciting. I brought back memories of my being there years ago when my daughter presented a paper on the Boston Tea Party. That was a great experience.

I am an immigrant from Jamaica with a different Political background and experience. In my Country you never have access to your leaders in office I believe that politicians should not be untouchable.

The experience I had as we walk down the hallway was to see our Governor in Person I was moved and excited because it was so unexpected to see him in person, I fact he gently embraced us by shaking our hands, We took picture with him. It was so remarkable. In respond the Lord led me to speak words of encouragement to him to him with no fear.

I said that the Christian community is praying for him and that he is not by him self. We are holding up in prayer, I would like to personal say to Governor Patrick the words and instruction God gave to Joshua go forward and possess the land.

Look neither to the right or to the left and be of good courage.

I hope when you read this letter you will feel what it really feels like to hold the hands of Your Governor and to speak to him in person.
