From a distant land...

Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land
--Proverbs 25:25

We received our first letter from our newly sponsored girl from Thailand.  We were all excited to read our letter from Wannaporn.

On a side note...Thai is a very ornate looking language!

We learned that Wannaporn lives with her mother and father and has an older brother.  Since she and Rachel have the same birthday, Rachel had a fun time comparing herself to Wannaporn.  According to her letter she is 114 cm. tall, so we got out a measuring tape and discovered she's about 1 inch taller than Rachel and about 2 lbs heavier.  She likes to ride her bike, her favorite fruit is watermelon, she has a dog, and her favorite color is yellow.  She learns verses at the center she attends and likes to sing praise songs.  What a blessing to be able to be a part of her life!  We're looking forward to getting to know her better through the years.  If you've ever considered sponsoring a child....do so today!  You can contact me with any questions about sponsorship or visit Compassion International at http://www.compassion.com/
