Happy Friday!
Today's first letter comes to use from Thailand, from a sweet little boy named Jaw-bu-keh. It is written on the template entitled My Hopes For the Future.
Jaw-bu-keh is 8 years old. His letter is dated November 30th, 2018.
________________________________________________________________________________
1. When I grow up, do I want to go to university?: I do
2. When I grow up, do I want to get married?: I'm not sure if I do
3. When I grow up, I want to be: A teacher
4. In the future, I hope to visit: My sponsor's country
5. In the future, I hope to meet: My sponsor
Dear Kayla,
First of all, may God bless you give you happiness in your life. I am Tawantochai and I am a volunteer at the project. I write the letter for Jaw-bu-keh because he is very young and can't write yet. He and his family are fine. He gets up in the morning, washes his face and brushes his teeth. Then he helps his mother carry water and then gets dressed for school. He eats rice for breakfast and then goes to school. He goes to school not very far from his house. He spends only a few minutes to walk to school. Now it is the cold season already. Soon it will be Christmas and he is getting very excited. He wants to know if you are excited about Christmas. At last, pray for him and his family; for their life, their work, and their health. May God bless you.
Love in Christ,
Jaw-bu-keh & volunteer

Dear Kayla,
Hello, my friend. How are you there? I'm doing okay, though I broke bones in my right leg. I am thankful to God that I am still alive and for never leaving me. In September, I was in an accident on my motorbike, but I will be okay. I thank for student center project for assisting me. I stopped schooling and attending the project because of my accident. I couldn't attend either place. Thank you for the letters I received. I hope Gage and Chloe are enjoying your treat. Thank you also for the pictures. I enjoy looking at them. I also like the stories because they come together well at the end. Please pray for my full recovery and future good health. This Christmas, what will you do? Until your next letter, thank you so much.
Respectfully Yours,
Jhonrex

We move onto a letter from Maria Eduarda, whose name I have slowly changing to get used to it. I've always called her Maria, but recently found out she actually goes by her middle name, Eduarda. I'm using her first and middle name and will try to change it to just Eduarda in my brain. It's a process after so many years of calling her just Maria.
Maria Eduarda is 14 years old, lives in Brazil, and her letter is dated November 21st, 2018.

Hello Dear Sponsor Kayla,
How are you? How is your family doing? My family and I are doing well. I am going into a new stage of my life and I will soon start my first year of high school. I will have my graduation from middle school. I am both happy and anxious. I want to say thanks for the letter that you have sent to me. Soon I hope to receive more news in another letter from you. I am always very happy to receive your letters. Please be praying for my family, my graduation, and my start at a new school. I share Psalm 23:1 with you, "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing." I say goodbye, wishing you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Your Sponsored Child,
Maria Eduarda
