Hi, this is Father Mike Spencer. I just wanted to take a moment and thank you so much.

Last week we had our gift to the max day. We had our, I don't know if you know this,

we had our virtual front, a few a day of thanks was on YouTube. It was super fun to put

on with our focus missionaries and with a couple of our students and we, I wish we could

have had so many more of our students on camera and be able to just kind of share their

stories and to be able to give their testimony. But on that same day, we also had a matching

gift. We had a matching gift from someone incredibly generous who offered $250,000 to

this is the money that would have gone to our adult son in his inheritance, but he had

passed away. And they said, we want you to have it. And so we take that kind of gift,

we'll take every gift, but we get, take every gift to like that, every gift seriously.

That stewardship of saying, gosh, here's someone, here's a family, here is anyone who

entrust any amount to us. They could have done anything with this and they decided to

entrust it to us. And so we had that matching offer and on the gift of the max day, we came

really close to matching that, which is incredible. I mean, sorry, I say, we, it was you. It was

people like you who are listening to this who are so generous, just like that family who

was generous to offer the $250,000, anyone who offered anything, that is your generosity.

And I am so incredibly grateful. Of course, we, we accept a gift at any time of the year.

It's not just on one day of the year, but we only ask up to this point on one day of
