English Bible Exploration is continuing to go really well, last night we talked about having an eternal perspective! It is such an encouragement to hear everyone’s questions as we learn more about God’s Word. In addition to the actual Bible lesson, I also gave all the girls the opportunity to write to Danielle Bartlett.
Danielle Bartlett is a young girl from Richwood, West Virginia fighting cancer (malignant brain tumor). She is around 12 years old. Her “wish” for the Make a Wish Foundation, was for one thousand cards to be sent to her. She could have went to Disney World, she could have asked to meet her idol, but no, a thousand cards is what she wanted!
The girls from Hong Kong and China who attend Bible Exploration had never heard of the Make a Wish Foundation and were excited to know that such an organization exists and that they could take part in fulfilling a “wish”!
All of the girls wrote letters to Danielle and today I sent the packet of letters and pictures to Danielle in the mail! I heard about Danielle through an e-mail that was passed along to me, so I thought I would continue to “spread the word”.
If you would like to write Danielle a card - you can! Here is her address:
Danielle Bartlett
260 Country Club Rd
Richwood, WV 26261
As I study abroad in Hong Kong and as I reflect on Danielle’s sroty, I am continually reminded of all I have and how fortunate I am even at a young age!
If you would like to sign Danielle's guest book or leave her a comment in addition to sending her a card you can do so at:

Please help spread the word that Daniel is doing well and that she does not need anymore cards. Her mother has posted on 12/18/09 that she has received over 50,000 cards and they need to put a stop to the cards being sent.
