This is a portion of the letter written by Isaac at the end of opening day:

Brother and sister, this is the day which is very very auspicious in our lives on which His perfect love promptly demonstrated.  When glorious bells rung we began running the orphanage.  All the 15 children were got in as their joy has no bounds. We felt literally what His kingdom means to us!  Here I particularly remembered your goodselves your venture and adventure amidst struggles and troubles to uplift and upgrade the orphans.  We also remembered Sis.Helen’s Hymn and poem where we shed our tears.

This fine morning we both [ I & Mary Margaret ]  of us spent our time rather devoted with all the 15 children.  We did hug each child for all of your goodselves. We prayed with children and cut the ribbon and made the children to enter the building followed by the supplies allotted to them were given respectively. May I again the remind your goodself that their joy has no bounds.  We too enjoyed their feelings expressed before us. I looked at their grateful eyes and I did also thank the Lord very much.  Delicious dish was served on the occasion of its beginning. For your kind information we personally catered rather served in their plates. We personally evangelized and encouraged each child. We too with our grateful hearts spent more than 5 hours.  The excitement of the children can not be measured with.  Pictures regarding beginning the orphanage are attached as well.  Then my Sis.Amanda will rejoice more then her Bro.Isaac does.  Hope this joy will be forever as the fragrant  means.  Beloved Sister, my gratitudes can not be paid in words to all of your goodselves except having praying eyes. For your generous information rest of the children too are very curious to join the Sanctuary Family.  Let us all consecrate this process to His divine will.  May God warmly abundantly shower His choicest blessings upon all of your goodselves in His eternal mercy.

Thanking you,
In His service,
P.Isaac
