"...we get to sing in English"

 Today was a great day with the kids.  We played games, sang songs, had devotions, did crafts, and built eternal friendships.  The older group spent some time today writing encouragement letters to each other, and one of the girls, an MK form France, took the time to write a letter to us.  It brought tears to our eyes when Tommie read it to us tonight during our prayer time.  

"Dear all Teachers,
     Thank you for showing your interest in all of us and praying for us.  I'm sure that at some points in life everyone needs prayer.  Thanks again for all the great songs, crafts, AMERICAN snacks and fun!  It's pretty rare that we get to sing in English with other friends like this.
                                                                                                                Love,
                                                                                                                          C" 

                                                      
            They have such a hunger for Christian fellowiship that many of us take for granted.

    Hi Dear Ones!
    Want you to know how my prayers go:
    I figured out the time difference, so that many times per day (and night, sine I'm a night owl) I can look at a clock and say "OK, at this hour they're eating dinner, about to get up, etc. _ _ _, _ _ _,
    It's been fun to put feet to the prayers that way.
    You are all a sweet fragrance or aroma to the Lord, I know you're all being blessed. But the excitement probably has a toll, so I pray a lot for your sleep to be very restful and adequate!
    Huggers and love to all.
