There were two letters from Fred today, the first a thank you for his birthday gift. It is always amazing to me how much they are able to buy in their own country. I sent him $25.
Dear Auntie Sykes,
Christian greetings!
Thank you so much for loving my son. He was very happy during his birthday. He appreciates the gift very much. H received an amount of 1,055.50 We bought long pants, polo, sandals, underwear, t-shirt, short pants, biscuits and chocolate drinks. Fred is so excited to wear the new clothes for our coming church anniversary. Please pray that Fred would be growing into a grateful child. Until here.
Love,
Fred's Mother
The second letter was written three days later.
Dear Auntie Sykes,
Christian greetings!
May this letter find you in good health. Thank you for loving my child. We are so grateful for your effort, especially for the little book.
Fred is in school now. They had vacation last month of April and May. They started classes on June and they had the Vacation Bible School last May. We are so happy that we know someone like you who knows how to appreciate even small things.
Fred also likes funny jokes and he smiles whenever his classmates are making funny stuffs. He is smiling upon receiving a letter from you. I also smile whenever they are doing good at home.
Please continue to pray that Fred would improve more in his character.
Are you also fond of watching television? That's our pastime here.
Thank you for all support and prayers. God bless you!
Love,
Fred's mother
Those are great letters! It made me smile hearing that he smiles whenever he gets a letter from you. His mom is a really good letter-writer, what a blessing.
ReplyDeleteI love the connection you have with both Fred and his mom, she is a great letter writer on his behalf, their personality shines through!
ReplyDeleteI can sense the depth of their joy in having you as a sponsor... I can imagine the smile on both their faces when they receive your letters!
LOVE his drawings and the scriptures he includes!
