I'm so excited to share this. Another child at the same orphanage as our children asked Anna (helps the children with writing letters to pen pals) to help him send a letter to the family he stayed with in October. So I emailed Anna to see if she would help us get in touch with Marina, Ivan and Anya and this came in her email!
Ivan gave me a letter. Kids always give me a whole bunch of letters
when I'm there. And some time ago, when I sat down to translate, I saw
that he wrote to "family Keller, house number 96" :)
At that time I knew nothing about you, and this family wasn't in touch
with him thru my project for pen paling. So, I marked the letter "I
need to talk to Ivan and ask what is that family, because I don't have
their address in my database". :)
I went back thru the letters and I found it :)
So, here it is!
Hello Mother and Father!
It's your children writing to you from Ukraine.
We miss you so much, and we want already to be with you. We missed
Inton, Morgan and Gwen //(I have no idea if I'm spelling the names
right, sorry! Anya)//
We would like those 6-7 months to fly buy very fast! We would like you
to take us there forever! Mom and dad, maybe you could also invite my
best friend, Ivan? He is such a nice boy and I love him. I think you
will like him a lot, too. I don't know if it's ok to ask about this,
though.
How's Persi? We miss him.
How's everyone? We miss you so much. We hope this letter gets to you.
We will end it here!
with lots of love, Anya, Marina and Ivan!
good-bye!
Now I am sure that Keller family, house number 96 is you ;)
I was so excited and happy I just had to share! Merry Christmas (to me)!
