You can’t see me so I have to type words but I am simply stunned after reading this post. Stunned speechless.

I am blubberer too and it’s pretty ugly when I ead all these posts from the Compassion. I love reading about these trips, about how God is moving so powerfully through the lives of people who have so very little earthly accomodation and seeing the work of Compassion thru the blogers’ lenses. I don’t love putting the makeup back on, but it’s totally worth it!

**sigh** I can’t wait to read more, these posts mean so much to me!
I wrote another letter to my sponsored child in El Salvador last night. I told her about you guys visiting and how I hope to visit her one day…I want to know her story. It’s weird, but I’ve never met her and I love her…huh, funny how that works.

I don’t know why but that photo of Marco standing there reading from the Bible is one of the most powerful photos I’ve seen in a long time. That kid is going to be a pastor.

The belly laugh is me laughing at the kids laughing at my spanish.

Yes, there is more to Marcos story. I hope to tell it soon. Rarely I have seen such difficult circumstances. Gang violence is very bad in this neighborhood and we had to be incredibly quick and careful too. Kind of wild. Anyway, Marcos was a special kid!!

Tomorrow most likely I will be behind the camera helping with questions for the bloggers. It should be fun. Thanks for all your comments and following. Its so fun and interactive!

It is SO great that you are there to get to know these kids and their families. I love seeing your photos. You may have blubbered, but that first pic shows there’s also some awfully deep belly laugh action going on.

Incredible about the conditions that Marco and his family deal with. Certainly makes me think. I shared the link to your blog yesterday, and see that other friends are following along on your journey. Looking forward to the live video chat!
