Proud New Sponsors
While Eric was in India we got into a Skyping routine. We’d Skype as I was waking up and he was ready to drop into bed and then later in the day we’d Skype as he was getting up and ready to start his day. Often we chatted about the blog posts he was writing and I remembering him saying, “If one child gets sponsored because of my blog, writing these will all be worth it!” Well, you can imagine our joy when we received this email:
I wanted to thank you and Eric for posting about Eric’s trip to India. We haven’t finished reading the last couple of posts, but we have decided to sponsor a child for the first time. We received our packet today and I loved watching my children get excited about it. Matthew pulled out the atlas and was reading all about Colombia, and Kelsey has already started a letter and pulled out our Spanish Junior Adventure program to start learning some Spanish again.
Thank you again and may God continue to use your family to encourage other families to become sponsors!
When I wrote to ask Yvonne’s permission to put her note on our blog she added,
We are currently reading a book from the library about Colombia so that we have a better idea about the country where Natalia is living.
Eric and I are thrilled beyond words that Natalia has found a sponsor and know that Kevin, Yvonne, Matthew and Kelsey will be blessed as they get to know her through her letters.
Rejoice with us!
Hi Lisa & Eric,
Sorry, I hit send instead of return. Not used to blogging
Anyway, it is so cool that, not only did you get to see and help on your trip, you influenced others to help too. Keep up the good work.
