The Joys of Letter Writing

Today we continued helping the kids write the letters for their sponsors. They should be finished this week. For the little kids, we wrote their letters for them while they told us what they wanted to say and ask; the older kids were able to write the letters themselves with a little help from us.

We have been organizing the office more, gearing up for everything starting in the program. Next Saturday we are having a special welcome for joining the Child Ministry day (Saturdays) where they will start attending bible, health, social development classes (July 1). Most of the kids are out of school this month so are home most of the day.

The kids really enjoyed some of the letters that they had recently received. One lady in Arizona wrote a letter to each and every kid! Pastor was absolutely amazed that this lady would take the time to write every kid! We have been busy translating those letters so that we can pass them on to the children. They especially loved the pictures of their sponsors and their friends and family.
