San Ming Times
November 25th, 2008
Greetings from San Ming China,
I did wrong, and I now feel bad. I spent the last four weeks encouraging my children to be thankful and grateful people, and I even assigned special homework. All this while I myself have forgotten to give thanks and do my own homework.
Dorcas, Thanks so much for inviting me to come to China. Thanks also for the tender care you have given me iand making sure I do not starve or have any other discomforts. Sometimes I feel too spoiled to have you as my Chinese mother. I real do enjoy the special treat of mash potatoes.
You are a good principle and teacher for me to work under. When I have my own orphanage and some problems arise, I will ask myself WWDD (What, Would, Dorcas, Do). I can truly see the love you have for these children. If you did not love these children you would not be here, and you would've given up long ago.
Thanks soo much for everything!!!
Thanks,
Stephen Burkholder
