Meet Charlyn!
Hey guys! If you went to church this morning you know that the missionary (Dallagher..don't know first name..I think it's Pastor Ken) shared some stories of what's happening in Latin America. Then, he encouraged people to sponsor a child. I have always wanted to, but then always blew it off and thought "...eventually...." but today I knew I had to do something about it. So I decided to sponsor this precious girl from Costa Rica. I chose Costa Rica not only because he talked about it some, but because I have personally been there and got so attached to the children there! Not that children from any other country aren't precious, but I just felt my heart gearing towards a Costa Rican child. So I went on www.lacc4hope.org and looked at the children who are available for sponsorship in Costa Rica. I wanted to choose someone who lived with a single parent. I went through all of the profiles and found two (of 13) living with one parent. It was hard to choose because I didn't want to leave one out.....but I finally chose this cutie. Charlyn. The missionary made a really good point today. He said that he heard from someone that "every American should have a picture of one of these children on their fridge, because that is what we're called for....to reach out to the nations."
"Ask and I'll give the nations to you!" So yeah, I encourage you all that can and want to......it's going towards a great cause. I'm glad I got my act together.

They are precious in His sight...
