My Compassion Family!

Good Evening Friends!

So today I got on my account on Compassion and had a beautiful and wonderful surprise waiting for me! : )  They have added a new member to my Compassion family.  Since I will be talking about these precious girls a lot on here I thought I should probably go ahead and introduce you to them. : )  So here is my family! : )

Jhannethis 15 and lives in Bolivia, I sponsored her in October 2012 when she and I had JUST turned 14.  We have exchanged lots of letters and have a very sweet friendship. 
I added April Joy in April of 2013, she is 5 and lives in Philippines, I am really looking forward to writing her for hopefully 13 + years.  It could go up to 17, depending on when she graduates. : )  I have a good feeling by then she and I will be very close! ; )
Jharna came into my life in a very different way then the others,she is 14 and from East India. I saw her packet at a girl conference and honestly thought "oh she's cute"  I was eying a younger girl but knew I didn't have the money to sponsor a third child.  So I enjoyed the conference and went home and forgot about the packets.  One night (almost 10pm) I was laying there and suddenly KNEW that I had to sponsor Jharna, I called my friend (yes it was late) and said I had to sponsor her.  So w met the next day and I filled out the form and sent it in! : ) Very spur of the moment and on a whim but...  I know that it was Gods plan for me and her to come together. : ) I haven't gotten many letters from her but I know that our relationship will continue to blossom in the several years of sponsoring we have together. : )
Now...  the correspondent girls...  I knew I wanted to add more to my family, so honestly I was thinking I'll get two or three to write to along with my girls...
But 1, 2, 3, 4...  here they are,
Talefe is 13 and from Ethiopia, Yetinayet, is also from Ethiopia, she is 14 and Dibora is 13 and ALSO from Ethiopia. : )  They were all added November 18th and 19th.  Then just today I found Nimsi.  She si 12 and from Bolivia. : )  Since I just got then in the last few weeks I haven't heard from any of them yet, but I wrote to them and am very excited about hearing from them. (hopefully soon).
So this is my Compassion Family, but I am open to any that Compassion assigns me at this point. : )  I can't wait to add financially sponsored children to my family, like I've said before I want to end up sponsoring one in each of the 26 country's Compassion works. : )
Have a great night, and may God bless you!
