Clara...

The cutest little 5 year-old girl lives in Indonesia. Her name is Clara and we sponsor her through Compassion International. We have received 3 letters from Clara since we started sponsoring her in April. Here are some of the comments from her letters that make us smile (and sometimes cry).

"How are you Mr. Mike? You must be doing well. Here my family and I are always doing well."

"Thank you for the picture. Mr. Mike looks handsome and your wife is really pretty."

"Are Mr. Mike and your wife happy to sponsor me? I'm happy to have Mr. Mike and your wife as my godparents."

"Have a great new life, Mr. Mike! May you have a cute little baby like me, soon!"

"Mr. Mike please pray for me that I will be the best at my school."

"Our hobby is the same; singing and take care a dog. Later, if I have a dog, it will also be given name Tucker so that I always remember Papa Mike and Mama Kasey."

"If I have grown up later, I also would like to serve God like Papa Mike."

The translation is a little rough on a couple of them, but it's still cute nonetheless. If you've never considered sponsoring a child, maybe this will change your mind. It's totally worth the sacrifice on your part to see the difference you make in the life of the child.

Christmas Time...

I think it is officially Christmas season! Mike and I hung the out door lights this past weekend and are starting on the indoor decorations this week. That means I need to spruce up the blog too! Enjoy!
