Hola from Martha with Love

We got our first ever letter from Martha today.  Martha is our little girl from Elsalvador that we just started sponsoring in November via World Vision.  Her name is Martha Magdelina Perez, isn't that just beautiful?  She just turned 10 on January 4, 2011.  She is an only child.  She writes....

Dear Sponsor.
I greet you with much love, hoping that you are in good health.

My family and friends call me Martha.  When I grow up, I would like to be a college graduate.  My family and I live in a house made of sheet metal walls and roof.  We drink potable water.  We usally eat beans, rice, fish, eggs, and corn tortillas.  My favorite food is chicken.  The school is one hour away.  The health post is 2 hours away.  The geographical area is sloped and the weather is hot.  I would like to hear from you through letters and photographs.

With much love, MARTHA
Until the next time.


Isn't that the sweetest letter ever, I am so excited to be embarking on this journey.  God has so blessed us and it takes so little to help a whole family in this way.  She is so far away and in such a different culture and yet we are all children of the same heavenly father, making us truely sisters in Christ.
