Meet Luis

After I posted last night, I got to thinking, and Ava and I got to talking. We've been thinking of sponsoring a Compassion child for some time now, but hadn't gotten around to it, as we let life get in the way. But no more! Not only do we have a bouncing boy to sponsor, he shares something very special with our Eli...his birthday. Now we can give to someone who needs our help in Eli's honor. 
Meet Luis.

Isn't he precious? Luis is a little older than Eli- he turned four on March 28th, not two. But Ava picked him right out and said "That's the one! Let's send him some money already!" I can't wait to get more information about him. Ava can't wait to write him a letter!

I know Eli would be thrilled with her choice and with the gentleness and giving nature of her heart.

Awesome! We sponsor a little girl, Jasmin, through World Vision.

She and Sam share the same birthday, and I can't tell you how excited we all get when a letter from Tanzania arrives in our mailbox! Tanzania!! :o)
