Dear Martine and Autumn

Hi My lovely girls
I really miss you.  I know you are missing me too, I can see it in your faces.  I really want you to know that you are doing a great thing. You are sharing your family with those who don't have one.  I know that this is uncomfortable for you to be left behind, but I want you to know all the great things that will come from this.  You are loving these kids too, but from far away.  I want you to know how much us being here encourages the people here.  They always say " why do you come here? We have nothing here" but they are working so hard to look after lost kids.  I will tell you one story.  There is a boy in grade 4, just like you Teeny.  His name is Benjamin.  He was found on the platform of the train station in Kalka where we got off the train.  Him and his brother had been there for two weeks.  The station called Shanti because they knew of the good work that was happening there.  Shanti took them in and now he lives there, but his brother has run away and Benjamin in alone.  But God has provided 90 other brothers and sisters for him.  He has given him a home and adults that will love him and feed and keep him safe.  This is why we have asked you to share.  It is because of stories like this that we come here.  If we can help in any way so that Shanti can help more kids, we really want to help them.  We know our hands are small and we can only do a little work, but if we can encourage the staff, and help love the kids, then that is what we need to do.  Thank you for sharing.  Thank you for Praying.  Thank you for being our girls, you make our life so bright.  We love you with all our hearts, and cant wait to snuggle and smell you when we get home.  Be brave little snoops, be brave Teeny girl.  God is on our side.
