January 2012 update
Our latest letter from Alex
(Sent 1st October 2011- received January 2012)
I greet you in the name of our Lord.
How are you and how is your life? Me, I am OK, my mum and brothers too.
They were happy to hear that you wanted to know their names. My brother’s names are Ivan Atuhaire-18 years old, Muesigge Micheal-16 years old, Niwagaba Dennis- 15 years old and Niwandida Karimu who is 5 years old.
At school I am working hard to improve. My best subject is religious education. My position is class was 20 out of 60 pupils. Pray for me to improve.
Alex who is now 13 years old.
I got 82% in English, 76% in science, 76% in mathematics and & 76% in social studies.
I loved the cards for the royal wedding, thank you so much.
At home we have just finished a hot season. It’s now people have planted beans, maize and Irish potatoes. What kinds of crops have you planted this season?
My verse for you is Exodus 2.9. Which says “take this child and nurse him for me.” God bless you.
I pray for you to have blessed Christmas and a prosperous new year 2012. I have just received my gift after writing and that you so much for my family and general gift. I received twenty six thousand seven hundred Ugandan shillings. I used it to pay fees for my brothers. I bought myself a pair of shoes, two jeans, a school sweater, stockings, t-shirt, and pictures.
You meet all my needs, I pray that God will continue to bless you and strengthen you for his glory, bye.
Alex
And we have replied:
Dear Alex,
Hello! Thank you for your beautifully written letter, your English is very good-well done. You must be working very hard.
The photographs are lovely, it’s wonderful to see your mother, and she looks very well and happy.
Thank you so much for your verse; it was such a coincidence as we are learning about Moses this term in Sunday school.
I am sending you all our “word searches” for this term. What you have to do, if you want to, is find the word in the list at the bottom, in the grid of letters in the box above. I’ve sent the easy and the hard ones, and some pictures to colour in too. When you have found a word tick it on the list and draw a line in pencil through it on the grid. I hope it helps you with your English- 82% is excellent- well done.
Please send our love and blessings to your mother and brothers, thank you very much for their names.
Crops ready to eat here are: beetroot, sprouts, leeks, parsnips, potatoes, rhubarb, Swede, apples and pears.
God’s blessings to you and your family.
Love from Sunday school at St.Marys.
(I have sent Alex 12 word searches from this terms theme of Moses and 4 colouring pages and 3 mazes to do. And I have also sent 4 word searches from last term. We are able to send paper items, I hope he receives them!)
