My Operation Obligation Journal

He's just too cute, he is so proud of his report card - and he should be!

Here are a few photos of the quilt. The quilt is queen size, it is beautiful! I bought it from a boy who was about thirteen years old.

Recently, I was informed that we would be able to send boxes to our sponsored kids. I have the boxes ready to go, as a matter of fact - I used totes, so the families could reuse them. I've been praying about what I should and should not send, money has been very tight - yet I feel like God does not want me to go without giving to our sponsored kids this shipment. Besides, who I am to say money has been tight - when our families go hungry... I can honestly say we have not had to go hungry. I feel that most people who live in America can find food someplace.

When visiting Guatemala, I actually watched as children would sit on the sidewalk hungry... crying in hopes that they will come across someones scrap food that evening.

I'll be auctioning off the handmade quilt I bought in Guatemala. I love it, but feel so guilty having it - knowing I can sell it to put the money towards our students!

:)

I'll let you know when, and I'll let you know the ebay link when it's ready. :)

So, are you wondering why I'm pouting?

Today, I've thought so much of the boys we sponsor in Guatemala. I am just sad that they have to live in total poverty. I'd bring their whole families to come live with us in a heart beat if I could!

I really need to come up with the funds so that two of the boys can have a cement floor put in their homes, and Oscars family needs a bed... Marcos and his family need a table.

I just started making jewelry, so I think I may try to sell a few pieces.

I received photos of Oscar today, they are terrific! I notice he's wearing shirts in both pictures that Candy sent! :)
