My Dear "dad" and "mom" and all my family,
I had a safe trip to home, it's because you prayed and I felt it; my soul was tranquil. In London I could find everything without problems. My family was very, very happy to see me, especially my husband and grandmother. I'm happy and glad too, but I miss you very, very much. I want to see you all, hug and play with children. I knew that it would be hard. And I even cannot write now, because I just think about you, and can't think what I want to write.
Everybody was glad to receive presents, they really enjoy their presents. And everybody asked me so many questions. When I was speaking, sometimes I used English words, and it was funny.
All my family thank you again and again. And they see my eyes, that they shine with happiness. I thank you too, and I thank God every day, that I know you. You cannot find the same people as you in Ukraine. And when I told that some people want to come next year, everybody is so glad. You must not worry about where you'll stay. All people will be glad to see you in their homes. At the orphanage all children were glad to see me. And we bought for them gloves. They thank you very much, and they want to see people who gave them money.
And guess what?! I bought a new TV! And I told everybody that it's present from all people in "my" church, my American church. I'm happy, and I miss you. Write all, I want to write to everybody. And I'll be glad to receive letters from children. I'll write to everybody. I love you all. And I love my American parents. I miss you very much. I'll wait on your answer.
With love,
Veronika
