We have been waiting a few weeks for another correspondence child to add to our Compassion International family. Guess who showed up on our account on Friday?
Yessica!
She is from Peru and is 12 years old (13 in March). I was just checking out our account page on Compassion International when I noticed that she showed up. I was so excited that I wrote to her right away, as well as emailed Compassion to request her history. They said she has been in the program since 2007 with the same sponsor, but that sponsor only wrote her 1 letter in 2007 and 1 letter in 2008. That means she hasn't received a letter in 4 years!
Well all that has changed. I wrote her online on Friday (which they will print out directly in the Colorado headquarters...saves mail time). I also wrote an actual letter and included paper, stickers, and a picture of us for her first packet from us, which I put in the mail today. So already I've written as much as her old sponsor did in 5 years and its only been 5 days :)
I can't wait to her back from her (which of course will take a few months probably to receive her first intro letter). It is always nice knowing their interests so you can send stickers and stuff based on that a little.
I also noticed the weird fact that 3 of our 4 Compassion kids have birthday's on the 5th (of different months). 5 must be our lucky number.
