HAPPY NEW YEAR!!??
We got a long awaited letter from Mehameden last week! We have been anxiously looking for one from him so we'd know how he was doing. He's old enough to write his own letters now. Then they get translated by a Compassion worker into English for us. This time, he told us some really exciting news. He got to go to Adis Ababa (the capital) and get some training with 3 other students from his center. He "exchanged experiences with children from other projects." I can't help wondering how much fun he had with all of the other kids. He asked how we were doing. He asked if we were safe. He says he and his mom are fine. Attached to the letter is his school report for the year. He is 3rd in his class of 41. He's being promoted to the next grade. He has been asking for prayer for his studies. His must be working hard and it's paying off. They just celebrated their New Year in September, and he asks for prayer for his mom and "lessons of spiritual life."
He wishes us Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
These letters are so precious to us. We are so thankful that we can be a small part of his life.
