Letter Highlights...
"He also says he loves lessons at the development centre where he says he learns more of spiritual lessons."
"Phalam says that the best game he likes playing with his friends is soccer. He likes it so much."
"I usually take time and read the Word of God. I also go to church every Sunday and praise God for being my Creator. Praising God is a good act that is the way. Think I can also give it a try Psalms 139:4, 'I will praise you for I am wonderfully and fearfully made.'"
"In academic I am doing well, I am now in Standard Eight. I am good in science, mathematics, also in Kiswahili."

Phalam sent these photos of his family and home in 2015! It is so neat to see a "tour" of his home and see his family and pet dog!
