Second Letter From Nassali

This morning, I received my second letter from my friend Nassali Gorret in Uganda Africa. This letter was the sweetest letter I have ever received, and it seriously almost brought me to tears just reading it. The fact that the Lord can bless me so greatly through Nassali captivates me and ignites my fire to praise Him more! Nassali and I are both 16 years old, and in her letter, she said it was precious that we were the same age! This blew me away because even though we live so far apart from each other, we are so much alike- in the way we talk and in the things we enjoy! She loves playing net ball, which is kind of like our basketball, and she loves sharing Bible verses with her close friends! Um, I love basketball, AND I LOVE sharing Bible verses with my close friends (AKA Avery, Tylar, and Alli)!
 
Here is part of what Nassali's letter said this morning:
" Some other things I enjoy is to appreciate every creature and praise God because of them like birds who sing hidden songs flying up to the sky... I am requesting you that you are precious because God created you in his image, so never argue with any condition just praise God. Thank you."
 
Is that not the most precious thing?
 
 
 
This is a picture from a friend's page who runs the youth gatherings that Nassali attends! These are children who live in a community where they are building new water wells so the community can have clean water!
 
 
"Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
let them say among the nations, "The Lord reigns!"
 Let the sea resound, and all that is in it;
let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them!
 Then the trees of the forest will sing,
 they will sing for joy before the Lord,
for he comes to judge the earth."
1 Chronicles 16:31-33
