The Beginning: The News of John
I'm not as young as I used to be; not young enough to have a child. I've been barren for years and as much as I have longed for a child, I know that I can't have one and it kills me every time I think about it. The other day an angel appeared to me. His name was Gabriel and I was scared. But he said to me to not be afraid and that I will have a son and I will name him John. I was so excited that the Lord heard my prayers that I didn't question anything at all. Gabriel also appeared to John, or so I've heard. He hasn't talked to anyone about anything! It is rumored that he saw a vision, of Gabriel and he was told also of John's birth. They say he didn't believe Gabriel, so he became mute. I believe that story, though, and I know that God will look after me while John comes into this world and all my prayers have been answered. Because of this, I am forever a follower of God and would do anything for him, as He has done so much for me! (:

O Cousin, that is such joyous news! Congratulations! I am so happy that we can share in this journey together, because I am also pregnant. I know this sounds obscure, but Joseph is not the father. The angel Gabriel also brought me the news of my pregnancy. He told me that I would have a Son whom I would name Jesus. This Son would be the Messiah, the Son of God! I was so terrified, but I accepted God's will. Gabriel visited Joseph in a dream and explained the situation. Together, Joseph and I will raise a most wonderful cousin for your son, John! We must arrange to meet soon. May God bless you.
