2013 Baby!

Heeey blog world! Its me again! I thought I would dust off the ole blog and make it one of my resolutions to be more faithful in blogging :)
SO! My resolutions for 2013 are as follows:
1. LOSE WEIGHT! -- I know what you're thinking "laaame! everybody's resolution is to lose weight, ca'mon!" but I'm serious guys! I have BIG plans for 2013 and being chubs don't fit in any of them! follow my other blog : lisasepicweightloss.blogspot.com to read about my journey in shedding these extra pounds that have tacked themselves rather rudely onto my body!
2. Blog more! -- why not? I enjoy blogging, I'm just bad about remembering to do it! :)
3. Write more letters -- to my sponsored boys (I'm a terrible sponsor! I wrote like, 2 letters last year... i have 3 sponsored boys... *slaps hand* bad sponsor!) to my family (a nicer way to keep in contact than facebook) to my "adopted" soldier -- letters are always good! :D
4. Shed some bad habits -- bored eating... cursing... getting angry at stupid things... you know, just be nicer in general :) It never hurts to be kind! :D
I guess that's all my resolutions for this year. :) Hopefully I'll manage to keep them :)

Third Letter!!

Today I have determined that with each new letter I get from Joel, I will be just as excited to read it as I was with the first one. Today I got my third letter from Joel. What a cutie he is! :D

Dear Lisa Keough
It is with a great joy that I am writing you this letter, to give you my news, those of my family and hear from you.
I am fine, my family too-How are you? Is it raining where you live now?
Here people started working on their farms, because it rains- when it stops raining here, the weather is nice - whats the weather like where you live? All my family is greeting you - please, pray for my parents activities.
Be Blessed.

This letter took me longer to read than the others as the person who translated this one was quite sloppy. I do wish the translators had the handwriting of his companion, Lucienne. Such neat writing they have. But I appreciate the translators work, even if they a sloppy sometimes. Cause I sure can't read french lol
That is all for tonight. I will try to update my blog again soon! =)

Second Letter!!

Helloooo!
Tonight I recieved my second letter from Joel, my sponsored child!! It was posted way back in April (the 24th!) and tonight, July 7th, I recieved it!!! It took a whopping 75 days to travel from that precious little boy's hands in Burkina Faso, to mine in New Brunswick. But it was well worth the wait! :) Though his words may be few, they are genuine and innocent as children should be. This little child, on the other side of the world, who has never met me, genuinely cares about how I am. I love it. :) Anyways, here is the letter :)

Dear Lisa Keough,
It's a great pleasure for me to write this letter to you. My family and I are well. How are you doing? How are your activities going? It'll soon be Easter I'll go to church on that day and we'll sing and dance. mom will cook some rice with fire. i'll also go to wish my friends and wish them a happy Easter celebration. what will you eat on Easter day? I wish you a happy Easter day
bye!


I feel really guilty for not writing to him for so long, so tonight I'm going to publicly post my promise to write to little Joel at least once a month. Even if it is only a short little note. He shows his love for me though his letters, I need to show mine for him, through my letters.
