final letter....
Dear Kevin and Jill,
Shalom...
Hello. How are you doing? My family and I in Indonesia are healthy and are blessed by the Lord. What do you do now, Kevin and Jill? I am busy at school. After I start Junior High school I often go home in the evening because there are so many activities at school. What makes it even sadder is that I have to move to a new house in Boyolali. I cannot attend the activities at the project any longer because the distance between my new home and the project is very far away. Because of that, I have to depart myself from the project. I thank you for your willingness to sponsor me all this time, Kevin and Jill Foley. I also thank you for financing my schooling and for helping my family. My family and I cannot repay your kindness. I can only pray that you and your family will always be blessed and protected by the Lord, Kevin and Jill Foley. I will end this letter here. Please forgive me as this will be my final letter to you. May the Lord Jesus bless.
