Our First Letter from Erik!

They were so excited!  Wyatt comes running in with the mail!

A letter..... its a letter for "Teena Price!"

"Maybe it is from Erik, Mom!!!!"   Wyatt said.

I said ..... "ok, wait just a minute and we will open it...."

Wyatt... jumping up and down.....  "please, oh please, God, let it be from Erik!"

IT WAS!!!!!!
Such a sweet letter....   it was dated March 20th.  Wow!

Hello, dear: Teena Price
I greet you with the love of our Jesus.
I'm very happy. I'm grateful for your sponsorship, because I will know more about you through your letters and pictures. You are in our prayers. I'm a kind boy. I like to make friends here at the project of Compassion. My best friends' names are "Jherido and Brenda". and I get along with them. I like to play soccer. My tutor's name is Elizabeth, and she is very nice. She teaches me about Jesus. I help my mother at home, and we wash the clothes. I also peel the beans and fry the rice. My favorite is the "Salchipapa (sausage and french fries). My favorite fruits are the banana and the apple. I like to play with my sister. I want you to pray for my family. I live with my mother, and she works every day. I love you so much. Your sponsored child, Erik


Isn't that great!?  I just love the part "I am a kind boy" 
He probably knows by now that Wyatt & Wesley will be writing him.  We have already sent a letter back. Wyatt wrote one and so did Wesley.   Then I wrote a little note at the bottom and so did my husband!
God is so great. He is faithful.

Change the World... one child at a time!

    How very sweet! My kids get very excited too! My Petal Rose sponsored a child herself this past week, and is beside herself waiting for the packet to arrive.

    How exciting! Those Bolivian boys are just precious! I'm sure the girls are too, but I only have a boy to speak of :)
