Dear Christ UMC,
I greet you in the name of Jesus Christ. How is the Church and your life? Our family is so good and we love you so much. Thank you for my school fees and every thing you have done for me. Thank you for your letter. I am happy to it. Thank you for your prayers. In Uganda, we are in a very hot season. The crops that farmers grow are drying up. I request you to pray for us that the God who holds the rain may send us rain. In your letter, you talked of the winter and spring which begins in March. Which months in the year are good for you? Is it during winter or spring? I have a busy schedule through out the week. I am in the vocation school training in hair dressing. I start my lessons at 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. every day from Monday to Saturday – after doing some home chores like fetching water and sometimes washing clothes. My teacher who trains me is a good teacher and she loves me. On Sunday I attend church and after church go back and wash my clothes and also fetch water.
Let me share with you this memory verse: Hebrews 11:6
“I encourage you to have faith in Lord that in every challenge, He is there for us”
Send my greetings and love to all the family of Christ United Methodist Church. May God bless you so much and give you your hearts desire
With lots of love.
Mukebezi Esther Ruth
