I'll start with a letter from an itty-bitty, who is writing to me about the climate where she lives. Also, whenever a child tells me what they want to be when they grow up, my favorite question to ask is, "What makes a ___________ a good _________?" Carolin told me she wants to be a teacher so I asked her, "What a teacher a good teacher?" I love her answer.
This letter is written by Carolin, who is 5 year old and lives in the Dominican Republic. Her letter is dated August 27th, 2017.

Dear Sponsor Kayla,
Greetings in the powerful love of Christ. Thank you for the beautiful letters sent by the children. How beautiful is your country! Let me tell you that we celebrated birthdays in the church. There was cake, candies, a biblical contests, and a singing contest. It was funny. In July, we celebrated National Holidays. I went on a trip to a zoo and to the mall with my family. In August, we will celebrate Sponsor Day and Children's Day. There will be many games, cake, and candies. We will also put a decorative mural where there will be a photo of you and biblical cards too. On July 26th, I was on vacation. I went on a trip with my grandfather to see animals. I ate rice with duck cooked with cilantro and beer. I had a nice vacation. Now I am at school and I am happy with my classmates. I am learning more about God. I always pray for you that you do well at everything. When is your birthday? What season do you like the most? I ask you to pray for my parents so they can know God. Also pray for my little sisters. Goodbye with a lot of love.
Sunrei Victoria

Now a great letter from one of my favorite Honduran boys (I have a lot of favorites); Carlos Alexander. I can't stop calling him by both of his names because, to me, he was Alexander for years and now he goes by Carlos only. I use both of his names now when I talk about him. He signs his letters with both names.
Carlos Alexander is 16 years old. His letter was written on August 18th, 2017.

Hello Dear Kayla,
I hope that you are in good health. I wish with all my heart that you are in good health. My favorite activity is playing my friends outside of the house. When I am inside the house, I like playing with my siblings. I give thanks for the letter and for the photo in which you appear. It is very beautiful. At the CDC, they teach me the word of God. I want to tell you that I am doing very well at school. My little brother is growing very fast. His name is Walter Julian. My little sister is one year old and her name is Evelin. She is very playful and pretty. Pray for me and my family. I would like to know, do you play any musical instrument? I say goodbye with a big hug.

Dear Kayla,
How are you and your family? I hope that you are well. Now, I have just arrived from the doctor. My mother has been taking me to therapy because I have a learning problem. Now, I am little bigger and stronger because on July 18th, I turned 15 years old. My dog gave birth to four puppies. They are very beautiful and tender. Now I am going to start a new school year, in the 1st year of high school. I am very grateful to God. Please greet Brandilyn for me.
With Love,
Marinelis
