I just installed the Compassion app on the new iPad I received for Christmas. I love it! It’s going to be so much easier to keep up with correspondence. Happy New Year!

Kigongo’s Dreams
I recently received a new letter from Kigongo. It was heartwarming to know how he responded to “In the future I hope to visit” as ‘my sponsor’. Who knows, it might happen someday.
Kigongo has big dreams and I hope and pray they work out for him. He says he wants attend the university and to be a doctor when he grows up.
Here’s a picture Kigongo drew in his letter to me.
“The house I will build …”

Common Thread
After reading several letters from my children last evening, I was reminded once again of the common thread in almost all of their letters to me. What is it? It is very simply LOVE.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV

Speedy Letters
On April 21, I received an email with a link to a copy of a letter from Akoete. Here in the United States, we accept speedy internet correspondence as a way of life, but not so much in a poor area in Togo. It is truly special to be able to receive a letter written by Akoete on April 6, just fifteen days after it was written!

Keeping in Touch
I’ve been really busy over the last five months moving out of a home I’ve lived in for almost thirty years. Although I try to write to each child once monthly, I feel I’ve just not had/taken the time I normally have to stay in good communications with each of them. When I receive a sweet letter from one of them, it is a tangible reminder of how important it is to consistently write to each child. Sometimes the business of life gets in the way of the important things. I think it’s about time to write some more letters …
