Five Letter (Almost Not) Friday: Volume 11

It is nearly 11 p.m as I begin to type this. I am not sure how I forgot about posting this. I blame the fact that I worked for hours and hours and hours this week getting everything ready in my preschool classroom. Last night was Open House and I met 24 beautiful new 3 year olds who I get the pleasure of teaching this year. Then I came home and collapsed in exhaustion. Then today, I worked at the daycare and completely forgot that it was even Friday.

So, let's see if I can type up 5 letters before it's midnight and it's no longer Friday.

Today's first letter comes from Jonathan who just seems to be responding to a few letters I wrote.

Jonathan is 9 years old, lives in Burkina Faso, and he wrote this letter on August 2nd, 2018.

Hi Dear Kayla, 

How are you? What about your family? I am happy that your family members have good health. I hope they have that forever. I am fine with my family, thanks to God. I've moved up to the 4th grade. I am on vacation now. Thank you for the story of Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks. They are good advice. Thank you for the drawings and Bible verses. My favorite food is spaghetti. I like playing ball with my friends. Thank you for the letters. Goodbye!

Hello Dear Sponsor Kayla, 

It fills me with great joy to write you this letter. I hope that you and your beautiful family are in good health. I am very happy to write and draw for you. I really like the story of the Ugly Duckling. It is well known here too. I read it and it is very beautiful and I liked it a lot, as well as the drawings. Thank you very much! I want to tell you that I am doing very well in school and in a short time we will finish. I will continue with my studies to be a great person in the future. My great dream is to visit France. I am working hard to realize my biggest dream. Have you ever visited other countries? Which ones? Which countries would you like to visit? I want to ask you to always pray for me. I always pray for you. I say goodbye with lots of love and many hugs and kisses to you and your family. God bless you. I love you!

Hello Dear Sponsor, 

How are you? My family and I are fine. I'm on vacation now. I enjoy my days at home. There are also times that I hang out with my friends. We had a field trip to SESC and it was nice. Thank you for the letters that you sent to me. You asked me about my grades. Thanks to God, my grades are great in every single subject! Here is a verse for your meditation - John 14:6. I'll pray for you and your students. Please pray for my family. 

Love,

Maria
