Mail Call Monday

On Friday, I received my second letter from Aruna.  She is 14 and lives in India.  My youth group sponsors her, but I get the joy of corresponding with Aruna.


















Dearest sponsors, my hearty greetings to you.  I am doing well and praying to God for your safe.  I am happy with that your sharing such things, what you saw, rivers, mountains, etc (I told her about my family's camping trip.  We took photos at the top of Bald Mountain.)  I have read which you have sent Bible verse for me.  The God will love everybody.  I like cycling.  I will go by bicycle to my neighbors houses.  I saw a fun tree, if I touch that will close, and again it will come normal position. 
Please pray for my family and my mouth problem.  I will pray for you.  I will see for your letter.
Yours loving child.
G. Aruna

I will be calling Compassion too to see what mouth problem Aruna has.  Until then, though, I will be praying for her.  UPDATE: Compassion said it is probably temporary, an inquiry is pending.

I am linking up with Blogging from the Boonies this week for Mail Call Monday.

Write to your child today!
Lizzie :)

  1. That's fun that you get to correspond with Aruna!! We have an almost 12-year-old Indian boy named Arun! I hope that her mouth problem goes away quickly....just a heads' up, sometimes Compassion is a little behind on physical problems...our former child, Shamim, lost her hearing when she was a Compassion child and it took over 2 years for Compassion to "know" about it when I called. And it never showed up on her bio. I got most of the info on Shamim's hearing loss from her letters.

    1. Oh that is terrible. I knew that Shamim was deaf, but I guess I just thought she was born that way. I hope that Compassion becomes more on top of these things. I just e-mailed them. Hopefully they know or can do an inquiry. I will post when I find out something :)
