The combination of the outside and inside aspects make the...

I have sent an Albanian bible to a village in Burrel Albania for a large family with many children and grandchildren to do the Will of the Heavenly Father who has a plan for the country as a whole. It was sent by plane and then signed for by the Dani family. They did not know of such a developed postal business in their country and now use it on a regular basis.
