Today when my heart is hurting, I received a letter from Puru. It's so hard connecting with him. It takes months to send and receive letters. Email letters aren't much faster. I'm so glad he has a happy tone to his letter, all I want, is to see him smile 
.
Cracking a smile out of at least one person every day is my personal goal. I prefer a laugh but will settle for a smile. I thought I failed today but his letter reminded me I had my granddaughters laughing and smiling most of the day.
He said "I send many greetings and blessings for your entire family" He has no idea just how much he has blessed us. I still can not get over his handwriting. Mine is a bunch of scribbles, his is neat as a pin.

I got another letter 
We were writing about wood working, so I sent him a picture of one of the guitars I made. I also sent him a nice Christmas and birthday present. I try and remember to keep him covered up in prayers. I haven't sent him any pictures of the cattle yet. I'm interested to see what he thinks about them 
You can't out give Almighty, it's all His anyways.

That is so awesome

One day I would really like to go visit Jairo and meet his family if only for a short while. All I really want is to see him smile. I'm pretty sure I could crack a smile out of him.
It is a privilege and a honor to be his sponsor.

Years ago, there was an article in Reader's Digest about how a couple sponsored a child in Greece. The article was about the impact they made on the young man's life, he was all grown up. The couple made the trip to Greece to meet him and they had a joyous reunion.
