NOTE OF THANKS FROM KYRA KATS: “Thank you to all
those who kept me in their prayers and supported me so much
during my stay at Remuda Ranch. I can't hardly put into words
how amazing of a place Remuda is, how incredible my time
was there, and how I feel so completely blessed to have had
the opportunity to go. I have grown so much, and have so
appreciated and felt all the many prayers that were said for
me. It means so much to me to have so much support from
my congregation, and I feel truly blessed. Thank you again,
and thank you for continuing to keep me in your prayers.
