Dear Victoria
How are you my friend? I am happy to see you my friend. Thank your kindness and prayers. I will pray for you every day and may God bless you in everything you do. Always remember how much he loves you and you are never alone. He surrounds you with his love, mercy and grace. Always kind to understand and work hard and study hard in school. I can see that you have a kind and gentle but strong spirit. Let the spirit of God guide you and follow your dreams. God bless you my friend
Love
Simon Kinyera
I have five sisters and three brothers. How many in your family? Bring your family picture.


I received this note tonight from one of the guys here. Such a sweet, sweet note that I just had to share. To be honest, I don't even remember who he is... Oh dear.. Today we did some random jobs, like pruning bushes, cleaning out a closet (where Jenna ran into a rat), helped kids make beads, threw around a frisbee, and helped women from Gulu learn how to knit. Fun day. Hot, too. It actually feels generally cooler than South Dakota or Alberta. Except today was pretty hot in the sun. 


I have gotten around 8 notes from kids here. I have to write them back but the problem is, I don't even remember who some of them are, or what house they live in. This one from Auma Stella writes," I love you so much my lovely best friend. You look beautiful in my eye. If you enter in my heart you will see my love for you." How poetic :)
