We hope you enjoy the message. Several years ago, some of our closest friends, Sterling and Natalie bought an old house in Dallas, Texas.

And what you need to know, yep, raise the roof, detail, whatever, yep,

okay, great. What you need to know about Natalie is that she has had really significant health

problems for really the past decade or more. She has a condition which causes her body to really struggle to get rid of toxins

that are in it. And so what you need to know about this house that they bought was, is that

coils inside the unit would never have time to evaporate. And so the moisture that would develop on the coils inside the unit would never have time to evaporate.

And so eventually mold began to grow inside of this air conditioning unit.

recently as this past weekend. It doesn't matter if it's something that happened back in middle school or high
