Another Letter.... Another quick arriving letter from Jairo.

This one is another about me from Jairo kind of like Jairo had sent in early June. It took around a month to get here. I sure am getting very quick letters from my Peru baby.

This is the front of his letter....

Jairo says:
My dear Amanda Watts
The color of my hair is black
The color of my eyes is black
I am 1 metro (?) centimeters tall
I am 1 first child in my family
My favorite activity is to: (He put quite a few) play, draw, and he added paint
When I grow up I want to be a doctor (one of my babies that want to be a doctor out of quite a few.)
Now to the back with his drawing and his letter.......

His letter says.....
Dear Sponsor Amanda Watts
He greets you in the name of the Lord. He likes to make drawings, color and play in the see-saw in the Project. He is a very shy child. How many children do you have? (The third time I have been asked that. They all just have been worded differently.) He asks you to pray that his mom will come to the Lord someday. ( He asked this his last letter) He says goodbye. May God bless you. Jairo Jean Pier Hurtado Godoy and Luisa the tutor
Here is his picture. It looks like a very tall boy and some kind of animal.

My change up of sponsorships, lots of photos, and a video

I have been planning a sponsorship of a little girl with world vision a lot of you may remember me saying I was giving it a month before I sponsored. I checked while I took my vacation and she was still there. Well the day I came back or the day after marked August the 1st. I went to try to check and three things had taken place, First of all, my computer wouldn't come on. Second of all through checking with my phone (not easy) I started to wonder where the little girl was. Lastly and not least, on our compassion the sweetest little boy showed up on me in prayer children. Think something was trying to be said.... I continued to hunt. I managed to use my boyfriends computer a few days ago. I realized that the little girl most definitely wasn't there and the little boy I had come to love more and more each day was still available. Boy did I worry everytime someone commented on that post due to worrying he had been sponsored. After a little bit of his advocate Kim trying to teach an old dog a new trick and bouncing between phone and computer I managed to sponsor my new little boy.
Meet Mario!!!!

This is his compassion photo.
Now to extra photos Kim gave me...

They are lucky enough to have a t.v. and electricity.
