On Saturday, when I opened Egda's letter, guess what I found? TWO letters- one from Egda and one from Jazmin. Both girls live in Guayaquil, Ecuador, although they are not in the same sub-project. I was very surprised to see my welcome letter from Jazmin this soon. I just started sponsoring her about a month ago. Usually it takes 6-8 weeks to receive the welcome letter! Jazmin's arrived in four!
I have decided that that's because Jazmin is exceptional. Of course, all my children are exceptional in their own ways- I just especially relate to Jazmin. She loves to play sports, is being raised by a single mother, and enjoys school and learning.
This is what Jazmin wrote to me:
Dear sponsor:
I thank you for choosing me as your sponsored child! I live in Guayaquil and I am writing these lines from my beautiful city. Let me tell you that I'm glad to know that you are my new sponsor. The first thing that I want to tell you is that I am very grateful because you chose me as your sponsored child. The second thing is that I like sports so much. I practice it during my free time after doing my school homework and helping my mother to do the household chores. I'm also studying in high school and I like it so much because they teach me many good things, such as: Computing, English, Mathematics, Language, Values and other subjects. Our high school has a very big playground and a large field where I have fun with my friends and classmates. I feel very happy. May God bless you and your whole family! Says good-bye with affection,
Jazmin Estefania P. C.
I already adore this girl. She likes sports AND school! She helps her mom! She's very happy! Any time I get in a bad mood, I'm going to read this letter. That should cheer anyone up!
