Juan Update

I've received two letters since my last update on Juan. Here's what I've learned

*Juan is close to his mom and they have a good relationship.
*Juan is excited that he has a "beautiful sponsor" (hehehe) Seriously, it said that.
*He loves receiving pictures of our family.
*He participates very well in his activities at the Compassion Project.
*Juan's father works as a cleaner.
*Juan had a good birthday and was so thankful for our gift. (We send money to Compassion and then they help Juan pick out his birthday present) The letter said, "Juan is a very smart boy so he chose toys first, and then some clothes." Ha! Smart kid!

This was by far the most encouraging part of the letter, "Megan, know that you have been a blessing in Juan's life and his family is very thankful to you. Everyday we pray for your life and we always ask God to provide you everything you need."

How amazing is it that they are praying that God will provide everything I need. It's so sweet. I'm not just saying this---if you aren't sponsoring a child, you should! I have been really blessed by it and I know Juan's being blessed too.

Okay, I'll stop now.

Seeing as how Juan's just a little boy, he can't write yet. So his teacher writes for him. Juan loves to color and he always send us some pictures! Here are the last two we received. This first one is of his favorite toy---cars.
