My First Child Letter

Oh dear.

I can't believe I forgot!  I was telling everyone, but I forgot to post about my very first child letter!

I received a letter from my compassion child Jordan on Saturday June 2, 2012.

He writes:

Dear sponsors Joanna,
May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you and your family!  My name is Jordan.  I am happy and thankful to God that you chose me.  I am a cheerful boy.  I like riding bike with my friends and playing soccer.  I have a toy named Gufi.  I am 7 years old.  I study in 2nd grade of primary school.  I attend the Compassion Project and to Sunday school.  The place where I live is beautiful and it is surrounded by abundant vegetation.  What do you like to do during the free time?  I send you a drawing and hope you like it.  Please pray for me, my family and the Sunday school children.  I say bye with a hug.  I love you so much. 

I about cried when I read this, he is such a sweet boy!  He writes so well for a 7 year old.  I looked on the back and he made a picture!  It's a house, truck, tree, sun, clouds, and some birds. 

I sent him a letter already with some pictures of our trip to Bordine's. 

Is there such a thing of writing too much to a sponsor child?  Now there's a question.

I'm editing, since I received another first child letter from my compassion child Purnima today!

I was so happy when I checked the mail, after mowing the lawn (sneezing like crazy as usual).

She is 4, so her teacher wrote:

Dear sponsor,
Greetings and love from Purnima.  She is well with her family.  How are you?  She give thanks for your sponsoring.  She comes at project regularly, study, play, eat nutrious food and learn Jesus song, story, Bible verse.  She likes the song, "Mother bought a Bible for me".  She wants to know about you.  She loves and prays for you. 

She made a pretty flower and wrote some ABC's.  She wants to become a doctor!!  I love these kids.  They are so wonderful.
