Let begin with a letter from Ayling, my sweet girl who lives in Nicaragua. She tells me about how she celebrated Christmas and she also shares that things at home are going well. I didn't know things maybe weren't going so well, but I am honored that she felt like she can be open with me.
Ayling is 11 years old. Her letter is dated January 12th, 2018.

Hi Esteemed Sponsor Kayla,
I am so happy for writing to you. I hope that you and your family are fine. Thanks for your sponsorship and your letter. Thanks for always remembering me. I love you so much. My family and I are fine, thanks to God. I want to tell you that I was in the project's Christmas choir. We sang on December 23rd in a service. We sang Christmas songs. I was very happy. We also had a Christmas dinner. I say thanks because my family is now searching for God. My home is better. What is your favorite Christmas song? How are you in this 2018? I ask you to pray for my family, for God to always guide us. We are praying for you to be fine. I say goodbye with kisses and hugs. I look forward to your letter and photos.
Ayling

Kamaldine is 6 years old and lives in Burkina Faso. Her letter was written on November 18th, 2017. A bit of a slow traveler, yes?

This post will end with two letters from Colombia, from the two boys I still can't help referring to my CO-384 boys, even though only one boy still attends that project and the other moved. But still, old habits die hard.
Let's start with the child who actually attends project CO-384, Jonatan. Things seem to be going very well for me and he drew me a lovely picture! He's turning into quite a budding artist.
Jonatan is 10 years old. His letter is dated February 3rd, 2018.

Dear Kayla,
I greet you in the name of the Lord. I'm happy that you and your family are fine. I also send greetings to Gage and Chloe. May God bless you. I want you to know that I am training very hard in soccer. We won one championship, but we also lost one. I will move on with God's help. I want to thank God for having such a wonderful person like you. I love you. I want to thank God for me being such a fortunate kid and for being able to greet you. I want to thank you for your letters and for the images to color. They are beautiful and I am going to color them nicely. May God bless you even more and give you wisdom in your daily work. I give you this promise; Ezekiel 34:30.

Hello Dear Sponsor,
How have you been? I'm very happy to write to you once again. I'm really thankful for your sponsorship, which has been a great blessing for me. I want to tell you that my house is made of bricks and it has a cement floor. The roof is made of zinc, we get water through the aqueduct, and the house also gets electrical power. I sleep in a big bed. We also have a big patio where we grow yucca plants, Quito oranges, tomatoes, peppers, and cilantro. I want to ask you some questions: Where do you live? What is your house like? When I turn 20, I want to come visit you and spend some time there with you and your family. My family and I are very well, thanks to God. About your questions; my family and I moved to another place that is closer to another project. I am adapting very well to the new project and I know some people. They are very happy. I will keep praying for you and your prayer requests. I love you very much and I want to meet you. Can you come here so I can hug you and play with you? I say goodbye to you with a big hug and much love to you. I give you a biblical promise with Isaiah 41:10. May God bless you dear sponsor.
