You have found your hiding place. A few of your friends and family have gone into hiding at your hiding place with you. The paper that you have written helped to get people to come hide with you. Help them stay safe.
Good luck! Stay out of sight so the enemy doesn’t get you. We will get back together after the enemy is gone.
I’ve heard a rumor that several people are organizing an army to attack the enemy and get them out of the state, and the United States. Are you going to join with the army?
