I can say that I made a very good friend who I know I can trust. He is a very kind, tenderhearted person who will let you speak and will listen to problems. He is an excellent teacher and leader, as well as peer, and enjoys working with youthful people like himself. He is one of the strongest spiritual leaders this area has to offer and many have and will benifit from his help.
