What great & interesting answers to all of the questions asked. Thank you for sharing Lamentations 3 -- somehow in all of my Bible reading I'd never read that chapter. Wow -- it gave me chills. Very powerful Anthony, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — you are an amazing writer!! What great & interesting answers to all of the questions asked.

I actually picked up the phone to call Compassion to make some arrangements to go see her. When they got to the phone, I was told that she had just departed the program. I remember being really saddened by it. So, then I sponsored Dulce right away. I was glad that I hadn't booked the trip to Ecuador yet, because if she had left a week later, I would have booked a trip to Ecuador. I'm really happy to sponsor Dulce, though I still pray for Erica from Ecuador every day. Her parents took her out of the program. I never found out why. Kees It was tough, when that happened.

I imagine "losing" one of them would feel like a literal tearing of my heart right out of my body. I'll e-mail you with a link to the whole story of Miguel, as told to me by his now-former sponsor.

The first child I sponsored departed from the program after 1 year and 3 months, because her parents took her out. I still pray for her every year and I signed a release form to release my address to her, but I never heard back. I hope that she is okay, but I wish I could stay in touch and encourage her. I'm pretty easy to find on the Internet. Maybe some day, she might be googling me and come up with a way to get in touch too. At least she got saved before she left the program, so in the long run, she'll be fine. Kees Hi, Vicky,
