Sponsoring a 9 year old from Puru

[CrealCritter]

Today when my heart is hurting, I received a letter from Puru. It's so hard connecting with him. It takes months to send and receive letters. Email letters aren't much faster. I'm so glad he has a happy tone to his letter, all I want, is to see him smile 😊.

Cracking a smile out of at least one person every day is my personal goal. I prefer a laugh but will settle for a smile. I thought I failed today but his letter reminded me I had my granddaughters laughing and smiling most of the day.

He said "I send many greetings and blessings for your entire family" He has no idea just how much he has blessed us. I still can not get over his handwriting. Mine is a bunch of scribbles, his is neat as a pin.

I got another letter 💌 We were writing about wood working, so I sent him a picture of one of the guitars I made. I also sent him a nice Christmas and birthday present. I try and remember to keep him covered up in prayers. I haven't sent him any pictures of the cattle yet. I'm interested to see what he thinks about them 😁

You can't out give Almighty, it's all His anyways.

Hey new here but have been on backyard herd for a long while. It's pretty neat sponsoring a kid from Peru. Me and my wife went on a work team to work on a church in Peru about 6 yrs ago we have missionary friends who live and work there. Also my daughter who is 7 best friend is Peruvian and lives here and goes to church with us

That is so awesome

James 1:27

One day I would really like to go visit Jairo and meet his family if only for a short while. All I really want is to see him smile. I'm pretty sure I could crack a smile out of him.

It is a privilege and a honor to be his sponsor.

Jesus is Lord and Christ 🙏❤️🇺🇸

Years ago, there was an article in Reader's Digest about how a couple sponsored a child in Greece. The article was about the impact they made on the young man's life, he was all grown up. The couple made the trip to Greece to meet him and they had a joyous reunion.

He's quite the handsome boy.

Ever wonder how poor people in South America wind up with definitely American (made in China) t-shirts?

In Houston, and I would guess in other big cities too, there are big warehouses where they take in clothing from places like Goodwill, that didn't sell. The clothing is sorted to size and color, then packed up, sold by the pound, and exported to poor countries. Not saying that poor countries don't have new clothing stores, but that is just one example of how clothing is recycled and used in a beneficial way.

Of course you are sponsoring a 9 year old boy in Peru. That’s the kind of man you are.

Of course you are sponsoring a 9 year old boy in Peru. That’s the kind of man you are.

It's easy sponsoring a child through world vision. It's making a long distance personal connection through letters with many weeks lag, that's challenging for me.

It's good to put a picture to words sometimes, so here's his latest picture.

And the community he lives in.

And the phase the community is in.
