I am so excited to begin a relationship with the child I sponsored-- hearing your stories made me realize how connected and real this sponsorship can really be-- so completely beyond charity in a "just donating money every month" way. <br />When I was in Kenya, I had the same experience (can i touch your hair, skin) with a girl on a bus. It was a beautiful moment of sharing and exploring with a stranger (but I found quickly kenyans don't stay strangers for long!)<br />Thank you for your trusting loving beautiful heart and for sharing it with us!<br />Blessings, <br />Lisa Kristin,

Thank you for every word and every picture. <br /><br />I wanted to let you know that I have a terrible time getting your page to load. I'm not sure if it's because of the traffic you're getting. I don't have that with any other websites and usually if I reload 5 or 6 times it pops up. Just wanted to let you know.<br /><br />My husband is praying about sponsoring a child, I'm already on board. I also want to encourage your readers, my husband and I made $15,000 last year and we have three children. If we can find an extra $38 a month, anyone can.

So many times a day I catch myself thinking about new clothes, or where I want to eat, or what new household item I want... it's all about me. I, too, have been to the poorest of poor places (Mexico) on several different mission trips and experienced what you are feeling. But too quickly it was compartmentalized into a section in my heart that is seldom opened or touched. You have inspired my husband and I to sponsor our first Compassion child, and I am sure you have done the same for others. Thanks for your sharing your feelings and what God is teaching you.
