"Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know and holds us responsible to act." Proverbs 24:12

I bought a GOAT!! Well, sorta.

I LOVE mail days like this!! Here's a letter that came today. Written by Vestine, our 19 year old 'daughter' who lives in Rwanda.

01/20/12

My beloved sponsor, I am greeting you in the name of Jesus Christ that how are you? I am also well fine with all my family.  We would like to know alla bout you but we hope that you are well fine. In Rwanda we have rainfall with little sunshine. What climate do you have nowadays?

Thank you so much, the gift of Christmas ($) ?4.96F.  I bought a goat from it. I am now in Senior 2 and I am performing well, continue to pray for me.

I like to pray so much and I am in choir called “the friend of Jesus.” Greet for me- Dan, Hunter, Caleb that praise Jesus. Even my mum is also greeting you. I thank you so much for the gift of Christmas which is equivalent to 8.977F. We bought:

Meat for = 3000F

Cassana flour = 2400F

Irish Potatoes=2400F

Onions- 1000F

Packet of cakes= 500F

And I gave 775F into the house of God (church)

I dedicate to you a song number 224 in the book of songs of praising God. I wish you all God’s blessings and happy new year of 2012.

M. Vestine

(Soo.. who has this Rwandan book so that I can hear this song?)
