Letters from all 3!

Over the past week I have received letters from all 3 of our sponsored/correspondence kids with Compassion International.  It has been a few months since their last letters and I was getting anxious so it was perfect timing!

Said, our 6 year old from Peru, does more of the form letter question/answer type stuff on the front of the sheet, and then through his tutor, dictates a letter on the back.  I don't have the letter in front of me as I write this, but he mentioned how he likes playing with his friends, the color blue (he called it celeste, which means heavenly, or sky blue), and a few other things.  He thanked us for the 8 letters we had sent (at that time, since then there have been more) and loved receiving pictures.  He enjoys going to school and church.  He drew us some great pictures of an airplane, army tank, and a big picture of a person.  He is a very talented artist for only being six years old!

Priyanga, our 12 year old from India, wrote that she was enjoying school and church as well.  She wants to become a teacher when she finishes school, which is awesome!  I am glad she has future goals, especially for helping others get a good education.

Selemani, our 19 year old from Tanzania wrote that he was a great soccer player.  He also likes school and is getting ready for his Form 4 tests and studying hard.  He enjoys going to the center activities and bible studies as well and told us to read Proverbs 12: 1-4, which is:

1Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
    but whoever hates correction is stupid.

² Good people obtain favor from the Lord,
    but he condemns those who devise wicked schemes.

³ No one can be established through wickedness,
    but the righteous cannot be uprooted.

⁴ A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown,
    but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.

It must be a verse they were learning about during their Bible studies since it is pretty deep!  He is such a thankful young man as well since he said he and his family are doing good and that it was only possible because of God.  Even in a bad situation he is thankful, so I am very blessed to be able to write to this young man!

I am still patiently waiting for a 3rd correspondent child but so far, none have posted to our account.

Please pray for our 3 kids and their continued growth in faith and their continued education.
