Hello, my name is Abby. I’m nine, and my sister Alissa is seven. We live
in Kentucky, way out in the country. We love dolls, horses and our three
kitties, Love, Snowball and Mrs. White. Our mom and dad homeschool us.
We enjoy learning to read and doing math. In the summer, we like to swim
in the creek with our floaties and build forts in the woods.
Two years ago, my family and I went to Guyana. My dad dug a water line
for the people of Purima and held meetings to tell them about Jesus.
They were overjoyed to have water near their houses. Everyone pitched in
and did the work. Every day after school, crowds of children swarmed
the worksite and played with us.
One day as the kids gathered around us, my mother had a bright idea. She
suggested we play Duck, Duck, Goose. Since they didn’t have ducks in
their village, we played Chicken, Chicken, Rooster. When one of the
smallest girls in the group got tagged to be the rooster, she couldn’t
run fast enough to catch the girl who tagged her, and every time she
tagged a new rooster, they tagged her before she got back to her spot.
So the next time she tagged someone, mother picked her up, ran around
the circle and plopped her down in the open spot.
I hope we can go to Papua New Guinea and show love to the people there
just like we did to that little girl. If you would like to help me
spread the Gospel to people far away in Papua New Guinea, please pray
and ask God how He would like you to help us. —Abby Lello
