I have eleven small friend of the Baliem Valley, Wamena, in Papua's Central Highlands. Initially, a teacher and some friends there asked me to become a pen pals of their students. Friendship through a letter is intended to help children to love writing and train them to express his thoughts. They told me about the natural beauty of Wamena, teachers, friends, family, the lessons that are not favored, also their ideals. The happiest thing for me is because of in every letter there are always three mandatory sentences, ie "I love you, brother", "I will always pray for brother", and "God bless brother".

Friendship is not only meant for my little eleven companions, but also for me. Their innocent love and their prayers make me give thanks to God. This reminds me to the friendship of David and Jonathan. Jonathan loved David as he loves himself. When Saul, his father, prepare a bad plan to David, Jonathan, still doing good thing. In Koresa, David was in a state of anxiety because his life was threatened. However, Jonathan met David, suggests to David that God is always accompanies, and most importantly, strengthen the confidence of David to God.

I did not ask my friends to pray for me, but they do it with sincerity. And, I felt the love of God's incredible. David also must give thanks to God for the strengthening that given by Jonathan and on a best friend like him. You can also grateful for the presence of your friends, who are in difficult and fun, strengthen your trust in God - SL
