Letters (And a Photo!) from Africa Rolling In...

The new letter system on my account seems to finally be kicking into to high gear. After several weeks with very few letters, I have received two letters, so far, this month and there are seven other letters "In Transit" to me. Whoo hoo! So far, the letters I've received are from two of my African boys.

Mulwa's letter is written on the My Project Learning template. Typical fill in the blank letter for my little guy. Since Mulwa writes in English, from the time the letter showed up as "in transit" on my account to the time that it was readable, only two days had past. Gotta love that.

Mulwa is 8 years old and lives in Kenya. This letter is not dated.

Next up, a letter from Derrick. He is responding to letters that I wrote at the end of the summer and early fall. I am so excited to know that letters will be going much faster now. They are already coming faster to me. This letter was only written about 6 weeks ago! 

I wrote a letter awhile back about rules and how important they are to follow. Poor Derrick seems to think he has a lot of them. Hahaha. 

Derrick is 13 years old and lives in Uganda. This letter is dated March 29th, 2016.

Dear Kayla, 

Kayla, I greet you. How are you? I was very happy to receive your letters. I am doing well. My parents are okay. Ricky is fine and Jackline is fine too. I was no able to see the eclipse. I loved the lunar eclipse pictures that you sent to me. I loved to see the pictures of the children at church camp too. The photos of fireworks and the United States facts were interesting also. I received all of your letters on the same day in December, last year. And in January, I got another letter, with pictures of Gage and Chloe, the children you take care of. Say hello to them. I also received your letter last month, in February. Yes, sometimes I like to follow rules. We have school rules, project rules, and even rules at home! Pray that I'll follow all the rules. Thank you for all your letters. 

Derrick

Also, I FINALLY received a photo update from Taye! After waiting just shy of three years, I was emailed this photo today. Not only has Taye grown a ton since his last photo, his hair has gotten taller too! :)
