Hello nieces,

I am really excited to see you guys! I never imagined being an uncle of twins. It is an amazing surprise and blessing! I have to warn you guys, I am afraid that I am going to be too protective of you guys. My sister and maehyung is going to be bad as it is, but I think I will be just as bad. The younger uncle, jonathan, isn't going to be easy either.

I have been praying for you guys ever since I heard the good news. God has an amazing plan and purpose for your lives! You are fearfully and wonderfully made by God! Don't let anyone or anything in this world convince you otherwise! They will try to convince you guys of the opposite, that you don't have a purpose and that you are flawed in all ways; if you don't do this, wear this, or act like this you won't be accepted. DON"T LISTEN, ok, trust me! I went down that path and it leads to nothingness.

To be perfectly honest, the people closest to you will hurt you and disappoint you. You will discover this when you start having friends, going to church, and even from your own family. Unfortunately this is the nature of us, humans. We are sinners! But this doesn't mean that the people close to you don't love you or won't try their best to raise you guys. They will, I will do my best.

You won't be able to understand, but you will hear early in your life about this man named Jesus Christ. We will sings songs about him, talk about him, and even buy books with a lot of pictures of Him. You can trust this name with all your heart. Your family will do our best to help you to understand this God-man.

God sent his one and only son, Jesus Christ, being fully God in heaven came down to this earth you were born into, which he created (everything animals, mountains, lakes, and even humans), became fully man (and still fully God), the very thing He created, lived a sinless, perfect life without doing any wrong, got accused of a crime, got beaten up, spit on, made fun of, and then put to death on a cross, after three days He rose from the grave.

Jesus did this for you guys so that we can have Salvation, a relationship with God, the one that created you. You will soon find out the abundance of sin in this world. Then you will understand why God did what he did by sending His one and only son to die on the cross.

Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and Love others like you would yourself!

Any questions you have, i will do my best to help you answer, unfortunately there will be some mysteries!

I love you guys!

Your Uncle,

DC
