Letters

All is well here, getting quite cold now but no snow yet here in town.  Road to the airport is quite icy it looks like.

Once in a while we get some letters from the States.  Here's the latest:  (I'll answer in another color)

Hi my name is Annie I am almost 10 years old.  What kind of house do you live in, and what kind of food do you eat.  I am from India and I eat spicy food do you like spicy foods?  We saw your pictures that you gave to Mr. Rich & Miss Paula and it looks really cold.  How cold does it get where you are at?   What do you do with the mice that you catch?  You don’t eat them do you? Do you keep the penguins as pets?  

Hi Annie!  We live in a wood house that Rhonda and I built ourselves.  We couldn't find anything to rent so we had to make one.  We like Cajun food which is spicy but a different spicy from Indian.  It gets pretty cold here!  We get lots of snow inland and way below freezing quite a bit.  As I write this it is below freezing outside.  I toss the dead mice in the trash, I'm not hungry enough to eat them.  We don't keep penguins as pets, they would make a lousy pet.  They're kind mean.

Hi my name is Abigail I am 8 years old and in the 4^th grade.   I already have so many pets do you have any pets?  Do you have any flowers?  I have colorful flowers there are more tiny flowers growing now.  What other kinds of animals do you have do you have birds?

We don't have any pets because we travel so much, it wouldn't be fair to them since we're gone so much.  We have lots of flowers in the summer, we like them, too.  There are lots of animals here but no snakes of any kind!  We have lots of birds as well including the Condor.

Hi my name is Annika  I am turning 7 years old this year.  Do you really have penguins? And are you really going to make a mink coat for Miss Rhonda?   What do you do with the mink do you  eat it?  What is your favorite shape?  I like squares. 

When is the next time that you are coming here?  We would love to see you.  Thank you for telling people about Jesus. 

We really do have penguins here, they are slow on land but very fast in the water.  No, I was just kidding about the mink coat.  I'd have to catch a LOT of mink to have enough.  I just tanned the 2 I got and we'll just feel the soft fur.  I'm not hungry enough to eat a mink.  It smells pretty strong so I bet it wouldn't taste good.  I don't really have a favorite shape but squares are nice.  We hope to come to Tampa in a few years, we'd like to see you all too!  We are very happy that we get to tell people about Jesus here!  

Thanks for writing girls!  Keep up the good work!
