Kent Brantly, one of the two Americans infected by the Ebola virus in Liberia, said in an open letter Friday that “I am growing stronger every day and I want to thank God for his mercy as I have wrestled with this terrible disease.”

“When I started feeling ill on that Wednesday morning, I immediately isolated myself until the test confirmed my diagnosis three days later,” he continued. “When the result was positive, I remember a deep sense of peace that was beyond all understanding. God was reminding me of what He had taught me years ago, that He will give me everything I need to be faithful to Him.”

Oh merciful CDC?
