Every time I visit projects I have kids asking me to tell their sponsors to write letters. I don't know if people realize the impact these letters have. In fact one boy today told us his sponsor was the first person to tell him he was handsome. The project worker followed up by telling us that simple compliment changed this boys confidence. I could write an entire post on this very subject, but need to save some stuff for when I get back!! Blessings, Patricia Hi Debbie,

Just wanted to let you know that about 70 new sponsors from our church here in Huntsville, AL are following along on this... their first bloggers tour! Those that are sponsoring in El Salvador are amazed! Several have emailed today with notes of thanks for linking them to the blog. Thank you.. and the team, so much for making sponsorships real to those who are already sponsoring. I know that these trips are very much about obtaining new sponsors. However, anything we can do to engage those who are already sending their $38, yet nothing more.... is awesome. I don't know how anyone can read these stories and see these pictures and not be inspired to write some letters to their childeren. I am praying for your crews safety, your experiences, and your hearts. I pray that God keeps your feet on every step he has for you. God bless you!! Patricia,
