Dear Diary,

Tonight I stayed with my new friend Ashley Moffett. I remember her from last year when I stayed with her older brother Dillan. I was very happy to see my old friend again and to make another new friend! God has blessed me so much! I met some of Ashley’s friends while we waited for her daddy to pick us up. He bought 113 liters of gas for his truck and then we went to Ashley’s house!

Ashley has three brothers, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and chickens. She’s hoping to get rabbits this spring. In a couple of years I might get to stay with Ashley’s two younger brothers! We ate a delicious supper that Ashley’s mommy made, then I helped her read her book. We played with some of her toys and took lots of pictures together.

Ashley showed me her house and all her favorite things. I played with her dolls while she took her bath. Ashley’s daddy read my favorite book – Corduroy. I never get tired of that story! Ashley and her brothers liked it too.

We brushed our teeth and said our prays. At Ashley’s house everyone holds hands when they pray. I like that. I held hands too, and I felt just like part of her family.

I really like Ashley and her family and I hope I get to visit again! Maybe someday she can visit me? It’s been such a fun day but I’m tired from all the excitement.

I’ll write more tomorrow. Goodnight and sleep tight. May God watch over us all.

Love, Pablo
