Passing The Blessing Along (by Amanda)

Friends,

I would like to let you know all the good things that have been done because of your wonderful gifts to my baby girls. We received a bounty of clothes, toys, bottles, pacifiers, and other provisions but as you all know: babies tend to grow. Our girls are no exceptions and have grown in strength, size, and personality. Miri is our little climber while Hannah is our giggler and they are just incredible.

My house help has neighbors and friends that are having children and because of your gifts I always have a little something to give to them. Our guard just had a baby girl (his 5^th daughter!) who is going to have the same name as me and we were able to share a bag full of nice baby clothes. I even found a toy to give.

Often it is hard to let go of these sweet baby things, but God has given so much and the Malians have blessed us so much that it is only right for you to share in the blessings. I know that all of you would want to do the same thing and it is because of you that it has been possible. So thank you for all your generosity!
