We got our first letter from our Compassion Child, Selina a few days ago. So exciting! It was written on March 14, which was only about a week after we became her sponsors. Pretty fast! She answered some of the questions I asked her before she even got our first letter. It looks like it takes about 8 weeks for the letters to get from her to us and, I assume, from us to her.
We’ve learned that she has one older sister and 2 younger sisters. And a duck. :-) She likes to count and write at school. We also got some drawings that she did - very good for such a young child! I’m going to send her some coloring pages. She draws and colors better than my boys do! She also wants to know when I will come visit her. Uhhhhh… that would be very cool but at this point I don’t really see that happening. But you never know what God has in store, right?
It’s just so neat to hear from her. We’re going to put together a notebook to keep her letters in and also some information about Tanzania as a ready reference. We’re still working on the Swahili!
