Hmm?? You must be wondering... "Has she finally lost it?"
How can there be a final first letter?
Well here, as in Bible study, context is extremely important.
As you can see by the right side of my page, we sponsor a number of children in developing countries. We've gotten first letters from all but one of our "new" Compassion children and finally, on Saturday, we got our final first letter :)
Now, really and truly, it was a very short time in transit and translation. Just slightly over a month. The date on the letter from Denisse was March 3 and we received it on April 9! That is possibly the fastest... Camilo's also came very quickly for the first one. I'll have to double check, but it was around 1 month too. Often it can be 2-4 months. All of our children are in Central and South America and the average so far is around 2 months.
Of course, said letter is upstairs in my binder, and I'm sleepy, warm, and snuggled into my rocker recliner... so quotes will have to wait till next time :)
Denisse is young, 5, so it is written by her tutor, but it's still such a blessing to get an letter with her thoughts, even if written by another.
Praise the Lord!
