Happy Orthodox Easter
Easter is coming soon, there are many meanings of Easter throughout different parts of the world, the meaning of Easter is to bring joy to families. Easter is celebrated with different cultures and the meaning is sometimes misunderstood, the season is known everywhere; however the inner meaning is not understood, it is apochryphal with lower regions and without proper meaning, the season is misunderstood. Language is an issue in the English language where a native tongue is not, the season name is not easy to pronounce and the barrier is being written here for seasonal understanding, so the season can reach Scandanavia.

Last night a horror came upon me sleeping, I am in a circumstance with having to be homeless, not something that I am happy about, used to live in a place called Hoquiam, now am wandering around from town to town, the word is not being reached in the State of Washington. I have to write these types of things because things will get better and also for the truth to come out for the betterment of Antiochian. I have expressed multiple times about becoming confirmed as an Antiochian and the hope for a church building to emerge in this area of Washington. The upbringing that I have is what I only know, when I was first born, I was baptized in Saint Gerald Catholic Church that is in Omaha that is what I know; however the church does not have information about me recorded in the church records, a member has to have confirmation papers for the purpose of remembering a parishioner from a church. I went to multiple Orthodox churches in Omaha such as Saint John’s and an Antiochian congregation that I do not remember the name of the church that might be the only one in Omaha. I tried contacting a parish priest in Bellingham, he is open arms like most priests I try and contact for help, during the time at Saint Sophia’s Orthodox Church I was also homeless in Bellingham while leaving there I was trying to find solstice in Vashan Island, was not able to go there permanently as a monk, just stayed there temporarily for about a week. The concern I have is for myself and a church to be planted in the area that I have been wandering in for a little over a year. I was living in Hoquiam for about 10 years, a water leak came about, and I could not stay at the house anymore as the payee source that helps me could not get a plumber to check out the water leak. The time has passed since I was in Hoquiam and now struggling in Olympia. The first thing that I did when I had to leave the house was find shelter, so I started looking, the train tracks were the only thing with other people that I could talk with that was a town next door to Hoquiam. I stayed at a shelter called the Union Gospel Mission and the director did not accept the Catholic Bible, so I left there in the hopes while doing classes of Orthodoxy and spoke with the parish priest about another priest that has planted over 20 Orthodox churches in the State of Washington that is not really available for services every Sunday. The reason for this concern is because Our Lady of Good Help does not have Sunday Services currently as you can probably understand the concern for the congregation wondering if you were a parishioner when the services would be available for worship. I went to Marysville in the hopes of attending services, the church building is there; however not really known, the reason for this small note is because almost everything that is physical has been taken from me besides pants, shirt, and shoes that I have on myself that is one of the reasons writing that I am in need of assistance. I will go to the ends of the earth for the church wherever I can get help for a permanent and stable place, writing about Marysville is not a subject that I like to write about because I was really happy to start becoming a member in Marysville; however I do not know the reason why that did not work out, hoping that these letters do not have to ever be written again and concentration on what’s more important

Something has to happen that will help, unfortunately, people who are not Catholic have to be blinded or deafened by what they see or hear, I am not getting help, the people who I have been going to get help are unaware, almost everything has been stolen from me and that feels like near death, please pray that not only things will get better, but also find out where you can get involved outside the church, the outside has to first be cleansed in order for the inside to be clean, unfortunately in writing this is true with this being an evil generation
