A couple of weeks ago I got a call from my Mom while I was still at work saying, "you got mail from your sponsor child!" My Mom knows that I have been waiting for months for this letter. I started sponsoring a little girl named Alemshewa who is from Ethiopia this past November. I have been anxiously waiting to hear from her since the day I sent her a letter.
Finally that day came! I rushed home from work and immediately grabbed the letter. I must have read the letter 5 times. I didn't want to miss one detail of what this precious little girl wanted to tell me. Every time I read it, it was like reading it again for the very first time.
I wanted to share with my you this beautiful letter from Alemshewa:
Hannah Ownley. How are you? I am fine. Praise be to God. Thank you for you are willing to help me. I am learning my education to be active. When I grow up I want to be a doctor. I will let you know about my family by the next letter. Do you have children? Where do you live? Pray about me and for my education to be active.
My favorite things:
Best game: childrens game
Best food: bread with meat
Best school subject: english
Best pet: cow
Best bible story: about Jesus
Best color: yellow
Best song: spiritual song
Best holiday: Christmas
Alemshewa
In the letter she included a picture that she drew for me and her sweet thumb print.
I am once again anxiously waiting for her next letter. Until then, I will continue to pray for this precious little girl. Please join me in praying for Alemshewa :) Prayer is so powerful!
