Letters from Kids

I received a package from a friend a few days ago and in that box contained a few letters to me from two 5th graders in Maryland. They took time out of their school day to write us letters. They were both a great read. One was from a boy who told me that his hobbies were baseball, basketball, doing math, playing video games, eating cheeseburgers and hotdogs. That was great, because I eat enough hotdogs and cheeseburgers to consider them a hobby too. It was a nice letter. Next a young lady wrote to me to tell me about her pet hermit crab and did not forget to tell me how smelly it is.

They both wrote about how proud they were of us here and how hard it must be for us to separated from our families. They asked if I could write back only if there was enough time. Both were very thoughtful and I appreciated receiving them. I already wrote both of them back and included some pictures of the area. I am hoping they get to share the letter and pictures with the rest of their classmates. I hope to send them a souvenir from here in the future.
