This first letter is from Jhoyra. She is one of several of my kids who have mentioned the children's stories I've been sharing in my letters. I am so happy these stories are going over so well! She even shared her own story (one that is probably very familiar with all of us.)
Jhoyra is 11 years old and lives in Peru. Her letter is dated April 4th 2018.

Dear Sponsor,
I thank you for the letter you sent to me. I also want to thank you for the pictures and story you sent of Little Red Riding Hood. There is a story here that is called The Three Little Pigs. Once upon a time there were three little pigs that lived in the woods. Later, they decided to make their own houses. One of wood, another of straw, and a third of brick. One day a wolf came and blew them all down, but the house made of brick was safe. I ask you to pray for my family. I say goodbye with a kiss.
Jhoyra

Hello Dear Sponsor Kayla,
Greetings with my best wishes, hoping you are well, healthy, and blessed. How have you been? I always pray for you so that God keeps you safe and blesses you. This time I want to tell you about my home. My house is made of concrete. I sleep in a bed. We get light from light bulbs and drinking water from a well. We cook on a gas stove. How is your house? Thank you so much for the letter you sent me. I really liked the story about the three goats. I really enjoy reading all your letters. May the Lord bless you fully. Please pray for me and my family. Goodbye with a big hug and much love.
