From the other side of the world

We received our 1st letter from Mwajuma last week! Mwajuma is the 9-year old girl from Tanzania that we sponsor through Compassion. She had someone who wrote down her letter in her language. Then parallel with that letter was the English translation. She wrote her own name at the end of the letter.

Also, with the letter was a page that Mwajuma had colored on. She drew different objects and then wrote down what they were. The translation was under that

We read her letter many times. She told us that her family was well. She told how they celebrated Easter. She asked that we pray for her that she would get good grades. Then she said she loved us and was praying for us. To know that there is a little girl halfway around the world who is praying for me and my family is very humbling. I would love to meet her someday. It will probably never happen on this earth, but this little girl has become very important to us anyway. If you have ever considered sponsoring a child, do it! It amounts to a dollar a day and it will be one of the best investments of your life.
