But, like Teresa said, it takes a while to get the flow started. I'm just in the same boat as you - that 6 month waiting period from the moment you start to write until you start to receive those response letters is just so hard! What helps me though, is thinking, "If I feel this way, imagine how the kids feel? Imagine how they felt before I started writing regularly? Only getting a couple of letters a year!" That keeps me motivated to keep writing even when I'm not getting letters. :-)Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368117410977205462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139103506951694691.post-48901740149051604492011-12-06T11:21:53.373-06:002011-12-06T11:21:53.373-06:00It'll come... I am still waiting on the first ...It'll come... I am still waiting on the first letters from my correspondance kids and my new sponser kids... so I've only been writing regularly to Esperance for a long time. To really get the flow of letters go I believe it takes 6 months - a year if you write regularly because the mail is so slow. Also, World Vision doesn't emphasize the letter writing quite as much as Compassion so you'll probably find you get more from Compassion than your WV children in time, although Esperance tends to write back about 6 times a year which I am very happy with. Basically just keep writing hahaTeresa Dawnhttp://teresadawn.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
