I haven’t been here long but I have met a couple wonderful people on here, one I can call a friend and another I hope to soon call a friend. Both follow Jesus just as well as I do and to me it’s very important to find friends who are also Christian. I’ve loved being able to slow down and write letters to them as well as experience the excitement that comes from getting letters in the mail again!

Why using the Internet and forgetting about the best opportunity it provides us with, a chance to share and unite, find a penfriend. Here, on this website, it is easy to do =)
