But, that does not halt the letter sharing! The love from children all over the world keeps pouring in!
Today's post will be a nice mix of younger/older, template letter/free-form letter. It should be fun!
We start with a letter from Kwizera. He is one of the kiddos who really seems to love being paired up with another one of my children as a prayer partner. Whenever I send Kwizera info about his prayer partner Mulwa, he always responds!
Kwizera is 13 years old and lives in Rwanda. His letter is dated August 29th, 2018.

Kayla,
Warm greetings in the name of Jesus Christ from your child and my family! I am happy to write this letter to you today, to let you know how I am doing with my family. All is well in my country. We have started the raining season and people are growing beans. School is going well. We have just started the third term. I hope to get good grades. Please pray for me to perform well. I was thrilled with the new picture of Mulwa that you sent to me, telling me about his birthday. It pleased me so much. Please tell him I wish him a happy birthday. I love him and pray for him. My birthday is on November 15th. I will turn 14 years old. I was very pleased by your letter. I am happy to hear how you are doing with your family. I am constantly praying for God to fulfill your needs. May peace and blessings be upon you. Thank you for always thinking of me. May God continue watching over you. I end here, thanking you for your love and kind heart. My family and I are thankful for you.

This next letter is from Muzuro. His letter makes me chuckle a bit because it almost seems like a homework assignment of sorts. I sent all of my kids the story of Pinocchio in a recent letter and Muzuro wrote back with a short summary of the story. There is just something about that that I love so much! He really took the lessons from the story to heart and applied them to his life. It's wonderful!
Muzuro is 15 years old, lives in Uganda, and he wrote this letter on August 30th, 2018.

Dear Kayla,
I am very happy with the story you sent me this time. The story was very interesting and I read it together with my friends. What I learned from this story is that we should listen to our parents. If you listen to Gepetto, you will someday be a real boy. So I learned that if we listen to our parents, we will be blessed. But if we don't listen to our parents, our future will be incomplete. And from the other part that says, "In the morning, he was happy to Pinocchio alive! He gave Pinocchio some money to buy books for school and told him to go straight to school without stopping." But then some bad boys stopped Pinocchio. So I learned that when we are on our way to school, or another place, and we see a bad group of people, we should run away from them because otherwise you could be raped or killed. We should be careful on our way. And if our parents give us money for school supplies, we should use it well.
So I am very happy to read this story and I learned many things. I want you to send another story to improve my life. May the Lord bless you. Thanks a lot!
