This is from a letter that Mariama's teachers wrote us before we left Togo.
Enjoy.
Richard & Lisa
God’s blessings be on you and your family. Thank you so much for trusting us with your precious Mariama. What a doll!!! Her & I formed a special bond& I loved it. The sweetest thing was when I was bouncing her to sleep, if she was fussy, I would start singing “Jesus Loves Me” and she would immediately calm down, lay her little head on me and go to sleep. It was like the name of Jesus calmed her. I will never forget that. Jesus was in the room with us each day!
It was an added blessing to meet you. Richard, the first night when you came to our table to ask if we would have the nursery on Sunday morning was w God thing. He used that the show us why we were there. The joy on your face at the thought of worshipping with your wife showed us why we were here & how much it meant to the missionaries we came to support. Thanks! Our God is awesome and gave both of us just what we needed.
We will be continuing to pray for you as we did before coming. Our prayers for you are for God to build a hedge of protection around your family, for God to bless you for following His plan for your life & to give you many souls for the harvest is rich.
Again, it was a blessing to take care of Mariama. She is a heart stealer.
With love in Christ
