Letters from Happy Tummy Ministry Children about the New Library

Letters provided by Marian Eisinger, assembled by George Huffman. As part of the missionary work at St. Matthew’s United Methodist Church, Bowie, MD, we have been supporting a ministry group in Guatamala called Happy Tummies. This includes support for the construction of a children’s library, which is planned to open by the end of 2017. A number of the children involved in this ministry wrote letters to Marian Eisinger, who is reading the St. Matthew’s effort. In the following, you will see pictures of the original letters (in Spanish) and the translations, giving you an idea of the impact that this work is having. The first three letters were presented at the October 1 worship services as part of the Mission Minute.
