Dear Father,

Thank-You for sending your son, Jesus Christ. What an unbelievable awesome gift. Serella wants desperately to help me to be able to send "E-Mail" on my computer. She sent one message to Gould - it worked - and now nothing works - that is, the "code" doesn't isn't accepted. Please help me to know where to seek further assistance. Thank-You.

We went to Monterey to the Aquarium. Linda (Sereno) and Amy came to visit. Thank-You, Lord, for all friends, family and loving experiences. Amen

Interpretation:
For those of you who have not visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium, we highly recommend it. While we did find some video of the Aquarium in 1997, we highly doubt that Dorothy or Serella were visible in them. We did attempt to locate Linda Sereno but had no luck.

Most interesting to us was the mention of email. Seeing as this is early 1997, email was still young. We wish we were there just to see what kind of trouble they were having with getting the "code" to work.

Dear Lord,

Again I neglected writing. My glasses are better, after spending time at the mall while Lenscrafters put in a lens not so heavy. I took Serella to San Juan Bautista for lunch + to "shop." She found a shirt we liked. Thank-You for another beautiful day! Amen.

Interpretation:

We are still curious who Serella is and how she knew Dorothy.

Monday, May 5, 1997

Dear Father God,

I neglected writing to You, I was able to drive to the Monterey Airport, meet Serella and bring her home. We have been friends so long! Dear friends are such a gift! Thank-You!     Amen

Oh yes. We went to Watsonville and had a lunch at a Mexican Restaurant in Watson-ville Square where I checked on my new pants. Thank-You for giving me courage and con-fidence to drive these places. Amen


Interpretation:
We found it interesting that she was happy to have the "courage and confidence" to drive around Watsonville, California. Some of us wish we knew what she had for lunch with her friend.
