My A(free)ca

Dear Kayla,
Hi! How are you? My family and I are hoping that you are all in good health with full of grace. About my studies, well I could not really tell that it's fine because I really find it hard with our class, because we don't have enough books. About my family, by God's mercy, even though our everyday income is not that enough, still we are so thankful from up above that He gave us a good health. Thank you so much for sharing God's words. As of now I don't have a bible yet with old and new testament, but that's the very thing I ask God to have. It would be a great gift to be treasured in my life. By the way, how are you all there? I hope that you're happy with your husband and family and I hope that you will include me in your prayers, for my studies here that everything would be fine. God bless you all.

She is thankful for your provision of food supplies, food oil, ointment, cloth, shoes, school supplies, and retreat. She attends Sunday school and health lessons.

She was taught about obedience and not to lie and not to steal.

I greet you in the name of the Lord Jesus. I want to thank you for your letters and greetings you sent me. My family and I are doing well. I am doing well at school too. Sponsor, I do not know what oncology is. It is fall time here. According to Exodus 14:13 something doesn't let me be beside God. I want to tell you that my parents send me to church for my first communion. I don't know when we will be perfect because the only perfect is God. Yes because God is spirit. I'd like to know when your birthday is. Please, tell me when we will be perfect. I'd like you to pray for me and my family because I pray for you and your job. I say goodbye with a kiss and a hug. I hope to hear news about you soon.

May the love of God be filling your life and your family with many blessings. I am doing very well thank God and also my family; and I hope you are too. I am going to tell you about my community. I want to let you know that it is big and it has many inhabitants, but there is a big problem; young people are turning to drugs and holding up many people with guns with no God's fear. I know God is powerful and with our prayers he can change my community and because for Him there is nothing impossible.

In regards to your question; I want to let you know that my family is well. I am not doing very well in school because I have problems with math. Now we are in the summer and it is very hot and the most special thing we do to wait for the New Year is to wait for the New Year at the church. After school vacations I do not go anywhere. I thank you for the letters you sent me. I want to know; in what season are you in your country now? I ask you to pray for my community. With much love,
