Influencing an orphan

From my research. A story about mentoring a Russian orphan.


It’s not through anything that we said like we taught or planned to teach a lesson. I really believe that it’s through the years of consistent modeling. Just living your life and being an example. And of course writing a lot of letters and sharing your life with them so that they really do know what you stand for and what you believe. Our relationship is much more than going and visiting them one time a year and having a good time with them. For us it has been about consistently writing and sharing things and there have been times where we felt like she was veering off in the wrong direction and we would very gently very gently and carefully write her and try to steer her back in the right path. And so I think that it has made a difference.
