We received our first letter on Saturday.
It was Alberlin's introduction letter. I am pretty sure she wrote it when she was registered because a) it arrived fairly quickly (just over a month) and b) was addressed to the generic "dear sponsor." But that is okay! It's just how some projects work. It's a trade-off, either a personalized letter which takes longer or an informative general letter which arrives quickly. My kids, especially M, were excited about the letter.
Alberlin introduced the members of her family and listed some of her favorite foods. She asks for prayers of strength because they miss her dad who passed away.
Alberlin also included a drawing with her letter.

M was excited to write back to Alberlin. She still wants to know if Alberlin has received the birthday care package that we sent.
We are also working on a craft for our kids. M made one of Stivenson's letter that I mailed yesterday. Pudge worked on one for Mawupemo. Each kid gets a piece of paper with them atthe bottom with balloons above them listing descriptions of them. Stivenson's said "you are..." and we had balloons for things like smart, handsome, loved, special. I had visions of a "nice" looking craft to send, but I couldn't say no to M and Pudge helping, so while they may not look as orderly as I originally visioned, I hope the kids appreciate the effort that M and Pudge put in.
