On Monday I received the best kind of mail- mail from one of my sponsored children! (I eagerly check the mailbox each day now, whereas before I sponsored I might forget to check it for two or three days.) The letter I received is from my youngest sponsored child- Henry Daniel, who is just two years old and lives in Honduras. The letter was written by his elder sister, Walterina.
"Greetings dear Sponsor:
Hello! How are you? I hope you are in good health along with all people around you.
I tell you that Daniel is a smart child, he likes to play cars, soccer and to ride the bike.
He also helps doing errands. He likes to eat rice with chicken and fruits.
I tell you that I am so grateful with you for choosing my brother as your sponsored child.
I thanks God for kindly people like you, that like to support others.
I say goodbye to you with love,
Walterina S---- M------"
And Daniel contributed, as well: he colored a picture of a train for me. He used lots of bright colors.
Though the letter was short, I learned a lot. I guess Henry Daniel is called "Daniel" and not "Henry"- I'll have to get in the habit of saying "Daniel." Nothing more annoying than someone calling you the wrong name!
I think it's so nice when older siblings write on behalf of the younger ones. Daniel is much younger than his older siblings, so it's especially nice that teenagers and young adults are so close to their "baby" brother. (His older siblings are 13, 15, and 18!) Walterina is actually not one of Daniel's listed siblings in his family report, but she could be older and not living at home any more. The family reports only list immediate family (parents, brothers and sisters) who are living in the same home as the child.
