Three Letter Tuesday: Volume 8

It's Tuesday. That means I have three more fabulous letters to share with you!

First up, sweet Djimitri wrote to me and told me about his home. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love these template letters. The chosen themes are just perfect and tell us things we may never have learned without these guided templates.

Djimitri is 7 years old, lives in Togo, and he wrote this letter on July 20th, 2018.

This next letter is from a boy I've had pretty long-term. He's become such a treasured child to me. He went from this shy, not confident boy, who had below average grades in school to this lovely, confident, chatty boy, with above average grades in school. His letters have really been such a great transformation! 

Jonatan is 10 years old, lives in Colombia, and he wrote this letter on July 6th, 2018.

Dear Kayla, 

I greet you with many hugs. I am happy to hear from you and to know that you are fine. My family and I are fine. My father's name is Pedro and my mother's name is Laudis. My sister's name is Viviana and my brother's name is Samuel. My father works selling Avena Cubana (Oatmeal Drink). He prefers to drink it himself, too. Would you like to taste it? Your letters are very beautiful. You tell fantastic stories. I especially liked the one of the beautiful, little duck. That teaches us to not reject anyone even if they are poor, are of African descent, or if they don't have higher education. I would like to meet you someday and hug you tight. I ask you to pray for me. I will pray for you. I send you a beautiful Bible verse, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52. 

Jonatan
