Dear Sweet Lovely Deborah
God has not done any mistakes by sending you to Africa, especially in Sierra Leone at Wellington Orphanage. He will always bless you for obeying his call. He still has more mission work for you to complete. I was sitting and thinking about you leaving your sweet country and family, including friends, just for the call the Lord gave you. Today I want to use this opportunity to encourage you as you continue to do His will. For He has many things in store for you especially at His place which is heaven.
We are going to miss you every day and every time. As for me, i just don’t know what i will do. I am so used to you and will miss you too much.
I was not thinking about writing you about mission work but God directed me to write about that.
Please promise me that you will come back and visit us soon. I will always pray for you as you travel to different states, countries and villages etc…
I will always love you.

This was a letter given to me by one of the older children at the Orphanage on June 10 a week and a half before I left Africa.
For 6 months I got letters all the time, sometimes funny notes, silly pictures, sometimes sad letters and many unforgettable ones like this. The walls of my room there were covered in pictures, notes and drawing that the kids gave me.
