Selemani is officially off our account

Last week I found out that Selemani had left his Compassion project (not sure on the exact details yet but either he left the area for work, or left to move out of the area with his family).  For a few days he's shown up on my account but his picture was unavailable.  Now this afternoon he is completely off our account.

It is a sad thing to be done writing to a child you have gotten to know for two years (he was our first correspondence child).  He is 20.5 years old so I know he is a grown up and now he is in God's hands. 

I pray that Selemani continues to grow in faith and wisdom and that his life in Tanzania is good.


After he left, I received a new correspondence teen.....Diane from Rwanda who is 17 years old.  Thankfully I found out she is sponsored by a foundation who is very faithful in their sponsorships so I shouldn't have to worry about losing her.  Plus the foundation is great about sending the kids they sponsor birthday and family gifts each year so that is one less thing I will have to worry about.  God is good!

Here is our new girl Diane :)

We can't wait to receive letters from her and learn more about her.
